The Carlyle Group is exiting electron microscope company Tescan Group after a three-year hold thanks to gains in market share and expansion of the addressable market, Petr Rieger, director in the Carlyle Europe Technology Partners investment advisory team, told PE Hub. 

The sale comes as sources say that PE firms are looking to book exits sooner than in the past.
