676 GIF or Enfina™ Compatible
TV Camera for TEM

The 676 is an intensified TV system compatible with Gatan ENFINA™ 2D spectrometer or GIF system. It converts TEM images into electronically-formatted TV images suitable for displaying on standard TV monitors.

The 676 TV system consists of a yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) scintillator screen that is fiber-optically coupled to a reducing image intensifier, whose output is further fiber optically coupled to a low-noise TV-rate CCD. The image intensifier has a 61% reduction of the image size to better match the resolving powers of the YAG screen and the CCD sensor.

The 676 TV system is designed to replace the 622 camera when a Gatan spectrometer or imaging filter is installed on the microscope. This TV system is functionally similar to the 622 camera (both are intensified), however the physical size had been reduced due to the limited space available.
