Sub-micron spatial resolution
Investigate the smallest features and micro-defects in pouch or cylindrical cells with 600 nm voxel size.
Tescan UniTOM HR for Batteries
Tescan UniTOM HR is the only micro-CT system that combines sub-micron spatial resolution with high temporal resolution dynamic CT in a single instrument. It is tailored for next-generation battery research, delivering non-destructive insights from entire cells down to electrode particles.
- Sub-micron resolution down to 600 nm for imaging fine battery features
- Multiscale CT from full pouch or cylindrical cells to individual particles
- High-throughput automated batch workflows for quality control and R&D
- Real-time dynamic imaging of charge–discharge cycles and degradation processes

Insights into the Role of Porosity in Lithium-Ion Battery Electrodes
Porosity is a hidden variable that controls electrolyte flow, charge transport, and cycling behavior. Using Tescan UniTOM HR, researchers can non-destructively map pore distribution and connectivity in electrodes.
- Capture full-cell architecture with multi-scale micro-CT
- Measure pore size and connectivity at sub-micron resolution
- Link porosity to electrolyte infiltration and ionic conductivity
“At Dragonfly Energy, our goal is to deliver a more sustainable and cost-effective Li-ion battery, and these metrics are fundamentally defined by dynamic nanoscale interactions occurring inside the cell. TESCAN’s electron microscopy and micro-CT solutions provide valuable, correlative insights into the behavior of these complex systems which enable the development of our innovative cell chemistries.”

AI-GUIDED WORKFLOWS FOR CONSISTENT BATTERY SPECIMEN PREPARATION
TEM AutoPrep™ Pro automates the complete TEM lamella preparation process, delivering clean, Ga-free specimens optimized for nanoscale battery analysis. Integrated into the Essence™ GUI, AutoPrep™ Pro removes operator variability and ensures reproducibility across multiple samples and sites.
AI-guided routines handle trench milling, lift-out, grid placement, and 500 eV final polishing, producing lamellae with the right thickness and orientation for high-resolution STEM, EDS, and ToF-SIMS correlation. Multi-site batch operation enables unattended overnight preparation, saving valuable operator time.
With TEM AutoPrep™ Pro, battery researchers and manufacturers can depend on consistent, high-quality lamellae that reduce preparation time and accelerate the investigation of critical interfaces and degradation mechanisms.
