K2 direct detection camera
K2™ is the direct detection camera that counts!
With full-frame (4k x 4k pixels) read-out at 400 frames per second, K2 architecture has been designed from the start to be optimized for both single particle structural biology and cryo-tomography, as well as high-speed dynamic and in-situ EM. The uniquely back-thinned sensor is the most radiation-hardened sensor available today, with a lifetime greater than 5 billion electrons per pixel.

Erlangshen CCD Camera
The Erlangshen™ family of lens-coupled CCD Cameras are work-horse systems designed to carry out a wide range of TEM applications especially those in the General Biology and Pathology fields. These cameras offer the best overall value for price versus performance. The newest addition, the ES1000W, is an 11 million pixel, large field of view system with a fast viewing mode perfect for replacing the TEM viewing screen.

Orius CCD camera family
The Orius™ family are smart CCD cameras for TEM imaging. They incorporate the latest developments in camera construction and in CCD sensors and electronics, optimizing the operational speed while minimizing the CCD noise. ORIUS cameras are fiber-optically coupled, high sensiitivity and distortion free, with real pixel resolution. Within the Orius family, there are choices of format (11, 7 and 4 Megapixels are available) and mounting position (field of view). All Orius cameras run fast, for ease of use, and the Orius 200 provides 30 frames per second (TV rate) imaging, especially useful for in situ TEM. The Orius 200D is a special version for higher voltage diffraction. Click on the links below for more details about each of these models

Multiscan Family
Redefining high-performance imaging systems, Gatan created a family of fiber-optical coupled cameras that rose above the ordinary level of performance. These are the Multiscan models. The MSC 600W camera was designed for general life science applications while the MSC 600HP was designed for general materials science applications and biological applications such as molecular structural biology that demand sub-nanometer image resolution.

Ultrascan CCD camera family
The UltraScan™ was the first digital camera to replace film as a recording medium in the TEM. The critical component of the UltraScan camera family is the High-Contrast Resolution (HCR™) optical stack technology, combining an innovative high resolution scintillator and unique fiber optic technology. Together with state-of-the-art CCD electronics and high-speed, multi-port readout, the UltraScan family sets the reference standard for TEM imaging systems.
The Model 994 UltraScan® 1000XP (4 Megapixel true pixels) replaced the highly acclaimed UltraScan® 1000 camera. A new class in itself, the US1000XP seamlessly blends in a single camera the ultimate image quality from the UltraScan series with the highest speed from the Orius series, opening up extraordinary possibilities in applications ranging from sub-Angstrom HREM to in-situ TEM, from electron diffraction to low dose cryoEM. Scintillator choices are available depending on core applications. Designed to be a reliable workhorse for years to come, the US1000XP is equally well suited for use by novices and experts, from the most routine to the most demanding EM investigations.
The Model 895 UltraScan® 4000 (16 Megapixel true pixels) is the largest format, ultimate image quality camera, the top of the CCD range from Gatan. Scintillator choices are available depending on core applications.
The UltraScan family shares a compact mechanical design for bottom mount CCD cameras, with full retraction capability and complete compatibility with Gatan Imaging Filters and EELS spectrometers

Erlangshen Cameras
The Erlangshen™ family of lens-coupled CCD Cameras are work-horse systems designed to carry out a wide range of TEM applications, especially those in the General Biology and Pathology fields.
The ES1000W is an 11 Megapixel, large field of view system with a fast viewing mode perfect for replacing the TEM viewing screen.
The ES500W is a basic, 1.3 Megapixel camera, often sold as a retrofit to rejuvinate an old TEM into the digital age.
