Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the launch of two groundbreaking electron microscopes, set to debut at Microscopy & Microanalysis (M&M) 2025 in Salt Lake City, Utah, from July 27–31. These new instruments-Scios 3 FIB-SEM and Talos 12 TEM-are engineered to make high-performance microscopy more accessible to researchers across both academic and industrial sectors.
Scios 3 FIB-SEM: Driving Performance and Usability in Materials Analysis
The newly introduced Thermo Scientific™ Scios™ 3 is a focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) designed for advanced materials characterization. With cutting-edge automation capabilities, Scios 3 enhances site-specific quality control and delivers superior lamella preparation thanks to improved FIB column performance. Its intuitive user interface ensures that microscopists of all skill levels can operate the system with confidence and precision.
“Researchers across the globe seek new and better materials for various applications – from clean energy and aerospace to productivity of digital devices,” said David Wall, vice president and general manager of materials science for Thermo Fisher. “The current pace of the development of new materials and their increasing complexity poses significant challenges, and Scios 3 addresses those challenges head-on with world-class advancements designed to serve both academia and industry.”

Designed for high-throughput environments, Scios 3 streamlines workflows and increases operational efficiency, empowering scientists to push the boundaries of innovation. Live demonstrations of the Scios 3 will be available at booth #1734 during M&M 2025. For more details,
Talos 12 TEM: Expanding Access to High-Resolution Biological Imaging
Thermo Fisher also introduces the Thermo Scientific™ Talos™ 12 TEM, an evolution of its widely adopted Talos transmission electron microscope platform. Designed to meet the growing demand for flexible, high-resolution imaging, Talos 12 delivers accessible and reliable performance for applications in biological research, pathology, and pharmaceutical development.
“We’re pleased to introduce Talos 12 at M&M this year to bring transmission electron microscopy to more researchers,” said Trisha Rice, vice president and general manager of life sciences at Thermo Fisher. “A wide array of laboratories can now benefit from this adaptable 120kV instrument. Not only does the reduced footprint and next-generation enclosure fit into more lab spaces, but the streamlined workflows – from routine imaging of cells and tissues to AI-assisted sample characterization to cryo-EM – enable the user-friendly Talos 12 to support remote operation for collaboration regardless of location.”
