GIF 2001
The GIF 2001 is a full-featured TEM energy filter
providing both EELS and EFTEM capabilities at moderate
cost. Its 1K x 1K sensor offers well-balanced performance
for both analytical spectroscopy and imaging applications.
Its included retractable TV camera provides real-time
viewing for making instrument adjustments and setting
up experiments.
The GIF 2001 enables the full range of EELS and EFTEM
techniques, including elemental point analysis in
either TEM or STEM modes, rapid elemental mapping
in energy-filtered TEM mode, and systematic line and
area scans in STEM spectrum imaging mode (when combined
with the STEMPack product) to reveal variations in
both the composition and electronic structure of probed
specimen areas.
Although an entry-level system, the GIF 2001 also
features the self-tuning, aberration-corrected filter
optics for which all Gatan energy filter systems are
known. The GIF post-column design is ideally suited
for high-performance EELS work, especially STEM EELS,
and it has yet to be equaled by any other TEM energy
filter design in the industry.
Key Features of the GIF 2001 Hardware include:
Advanced electron optics using multipole lenses
1K x 1K pixel MultiScan™ CCD camera with 24
micron pixel size
Second order aberration corrected energy dispersive
prism
Third order image aberation correction
Compatible up to 400 keV and with HV TEMs
Fully digital computer contolled PC based system

The Gatan Imaging Filter comes with sophisticated
software covering all aspects of energy-filtered
imaging and energy-loss spectroscopy. A graphical
user interface within DigitalMicrograph simplifies
the acquisition and processing of filtered and
unfiltered images, and powerful EELS software
allows complex analysis of energy-loss spectra.
Tight integration of the software with the microscope
and simple expandability through additional
Gatan plug-ins make it a safe investment for
the future.
