Ramsey, NJ — September 10, 2025 — Angstrom Scientific, a leading provider of advanced microscopy and materials analysis solutions across North America, is excited to announce its new U.S. distribution agreement with ConnectomX, a trailblazer in volume electron microscopy. This partnership will bring ConnectomX's innovative imaging solutions to U.S. researchers and industries, enhancing capabilities in 3D imaging and analysis.

 

Transforming SEMs into Volume Imaging Systems

ConnectomX's flagship product, the Katana Microtome, is a universal, plug-and-play ultramicrotome that seamlessly integrates with any scanning electron microscope (SEM) with a stage-to-pole piece distance greater than 56 mm. This compatibility encompasses 99% of contemporary field emission gun (FEG) SEMs, including models from JEOL, TESCAN, ThermoFisher, ZEISS, and others. The Katana Microtome enables high-resolution 3D imaging by serially sectioning specimens and imaging each layer, facilitating detailed volumetric reconstructions.

 

Empowering U.S. Research and Industry

Through this partnership, Angstrom Scientific will provide U.S. customers with access to ConnectomX's cutting-edge imaging solutions, backed by local support and expertise. The collaboration aims to advance research in various fields, including materials science, biology, and nanotechnology, by offering enhanced imaging capabilities that were previously limited by traditional SEM technologies.
