Electron microscopy suite in a research institute

1.8 µT → 45 nT

01 · Challenge

Image drift on a new TEM caused by a tram line 60 m away and by building service currents.

02 · Simulation

Source separation via synchronised long-term measurement plus a simulation of the room enclosure and residual DC transients.

03 · Solution

A mu-metal room enclosure with active compensation coils for the tram's variable DC component.

04 · Execution

Installed during a scheduled instrument shutdown, followed by joint acceptance testing with the manufacturer.

05 · Result

Residual field below 45 nT peak-to-peak — inside the vendor's specification with margin.
