Because of OneView camera’s high resolution and high sensitivity, lattice imaging with a large field of view is effortless.

Sample: gold (Au) nanoparticles; beam energy: 300 kV; image size: 4k x 4k; exposure: 1 s; number of frames: 25

High sensitivity and drift correction of the OneView camera makes it easier to capture these HRTEM images of graphene.

Sample: graphene; beam energy: 80 kV; image size: 4k x 4k; exposure: 4 s; number of frames: 100

Diffraction without artifacts for gold on carbon sample

Diffraction without artifacts for gold on carbon sample

The extreme sensitivity of the OneView camera does not affect its ability to collect diffraction patterns without imaging artifacts, even with an unobstructed central beam. The camera’s CMOS design and high readout speed ensures no streaking or blooming. 

Sample: gold (Au) on carbon (C); beam energy: 200 kV; image size: 4k x 4k; exposure: 1 s; number of frames: 25; spot size: 7; camera length: 1 m; insert shows the area where the diffraction pattern was collected from

Drift correction compensates for brain sample motion

Drift correction compensates for brain sample motion

Sample was shrinking as it was exposed to the electron beam, these images were taken by the OneView camera before the objective aperture was inserted and specimen was stabilized.

Sample: brain; beam energy: 120 kV; image size: 4k x 4k; exposure: 1 s; number of frames: 25; drift correction: no (left) and yes (right)

Drift correction compensates for skin cell sample motion

Drift correction compensates for skin cell sample motion

Images were captured from a skin specimen using the OneView camera, with drift correction on and off. Collecting high quality images of these specimens with out drift correction is very challenging as samples change and move under the electron beam.

Sample: skin; beam energy: 120 kV; image size: 4k x 4k; exposure: 1 s; number of frames: 25; drift correction: no (left) and yes (right)

Super-resolution on GIF Quantum® LS imaging filter

Super-resolution on GIF Quantum® LS imaging filter

Thon rings tests performed using GIF Quantum LS imaging filter (K2 camera mounted at the end of GIF Quantum® filter on a Krios microscope) shows signal at near super-Nyquist frequency under low-dose conditions typical of cryo-electron tomography. Left panel is Fourier transform of amorphous test sample (PtIr). Dashed blue circle indicates physical Nyquist, dashed red circle indicates 0.90 super-resolution Nyquist. Upper right panel is the rotationally averaged intensity. Blue dashed line indicates physical Nyquist.
