Do You Need a Different Detector for Every Application?
Your microscope will be asked to do things that were not planned: 4D STEM this year, in-situ TEM next year, and maybe 3D electron diffraction the next? Each method seems to call for its own camera, and few labs can buy one per technique. Four recent papers, on four very different instruments, show one detector doing all of these jobs.One microscope, one camera, many methods An electron microscope is a versatile analytical instrument whose primary function is to extract information from a specimen. Specimens contain a wide range of structural, chemical, and physical information, which can be in
