NEW 777 STEMPack

777 STEMPack (Analytical): Complete system for advanced digital STEM, line scans, and spectrum imaging on your TEM/STEM instrument. Can be used with either EELS, EDS, or both simultaneously. Includes BF/DF STEM detector (optimized for simultaneous EELS), amplifier electronics, digital STEM imaging and beam control electronics, and all STEM-related software of the Gatan Microscopy Suite (GMS).

.... Tell us about exciting developments at your facility. E-mail info @gatan.com and describe the work you are doing, equipment you are using, and why you feel it is important in the field of microscopy. Remember to include a couple of non-proprietary photos, as well. We may publish it in future editions of KnowHow!
 

NEW EDS Acquisition and Analysis

EDS Acquisition and Analysis (Analytical/Software): Capture and view your EDS data (from all commercially available EDS detectors) from within the industry-leading, programmable GMS data environment; allow simultaneous acquisition and side-by-side viewing of EELS and EDS spectral data; enable full EDS spectrum image acquisition when installed with STEMPack. Add complete quantitative analysis of EDS spectra, line scans, and spectrum images to your on-line or off-line GMS data environment.

NEW ES500W Erlangshen CCD Camera (Digital Imaging)

ES500W Erlangshen CCD Camera (Digital Imaging): An affordable optical-lens coupled CCD camera designed to meet the needs of general purpose digital imaging. This camera uses advanced CCD interline technology together with sophisticated electronics, designed to maximize image quality. With a frame rate close to TV standard and more than 1.3 Megapixels, ES500W is an ideal camera for replacing the TEM viewing screen, recording electron diffraction patterns, and observing dynamic events inside a TEM (in-situ experiments). This camera is installed in the 35mm ports of a TEM.


NEW Slope Cutter

Slope Cutter (Specimen Preparation): Ion beam slope cutting is a technique for cutting heterogeneous materials without producing mechanical deformation or damage. The PSC-Tool, in conjunction with the PECS, has essential advantages in comparison with mechanical grinding/polishing methods and can be applied universally to most materials.


NEW Turbo Pumping Station

Turbo Pumping Station (Specimen Preparation): A new modular approach offering more versatility. The TEM holder module offers intelligent design solutions for all cryo-TEM needs while the sample storage module provides vacuum storage for 3mm TEM samples. Vacuum storage offers a simple and efficient solution to the prevention of corrosion and contamination of critical TEM samples (copper technology) while waiting TEM time.


NEW ChromaCL

ChromaCL (SEM Imaging): A new system for live color cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging. ChromaCL uses a unique approach of dispersing light onto an array detector, and live color mixing of the different photonic pulse maps. The system operates using Gatan's new DigiScan II, a high performance Digital Beam Control system and is fully integrated in the Gatan Microscopy Suite (GMS).


NEW Tomography Holders

Tomography Holders (Specimen Holders): A new range of room temperature, cryo-transfer and narrow gap pole piece tomography holders has recently been introduced. The 916 holder is a room temperature holder designed to give over +/-80 degrees of tilt with a large field of view. The 914 holder is a cryo-transfer version of this holder, with similar specifications. For narrow gap (~2mm) pole pieces, the interchangeable tip 912 holder is available. Using 1.6mm diameter specimens, this holder allows over +/-80 degrees of tilt in these narrow gaps.
