This ultra-high sensitivity digital imaging transmission electron microscope offers sensitivity approximately 40 times greater than can be obtained using conventional film
Hitachi High-technologies has announced the launch of the H-7650, a new addition to its range of conventional transmission electron microscopes.
This ultra-high sensitivity digital imaging TEM offers sensitivity approximately 40 times greater than can be obtained using conventional film.
The improved sensitivity is achieved using a fully integrated, high sensitivity, high resolution digital camera mounted below the film camera chamber, which will capture images at 1024x1024 pixels.
This new configuration allows direct imaging at beam dose rates that would be insufficient to excite a traditional fluorescent screen imaging system.
This not only ensures that there is the minimum of beam damage to sensitive samples such as cryo samples, but also complements the electron optics of the instrument, which features Hitachi's unique double-gap objective lens.
This provides an extremely wide field of view at low magnifications and can be operated in high contrast or high resolution modes. For ease of use, the H-7650 features single computer operation and a single display monitor for full control of all microscope, imaging and recording functions.
An extremely fast autofocus system makes imaging easy and a host of other automated functions such as auto-stigmator produce high quality images throughout the magnification range.
A comprehensive image processing and image data management system is also provided.
This includes the facility to search for keywords associated with each image.
