High-voltage energy-loss spectroscopy:
The next generation in high-voltage imaging.

The first of the new breed of high voltage GIF (Gatan Imaging Filter) has rolled off the production line destined for KBSI (Korean Basic Sciences Institute). The HV GIF 2000 is designed for use at beam energies up to 1.25 MeV, and has some important improvements with respect to the previous model, including advanced multipole optics, a new digital camera, improved electronics, and all the software features that come with the standard GIF 2000.

Seeing is Believing

Click here to download a PDF copy of the recent “Electron Microscopy for Life Sciences” article

Electron microscopy has long been one of the most useful tools available to analysts and researchers in the Life Sciences and some of the most valuable techniques and applications have developed considerably over the past few years. In particular, dramatic improvements have been achieved both in the electron microscopes themselves and equally importantly in the preparation of samples, the digital recording of microscope images, and the post processing of these images.
