Digital
Streaming Video (DSV) - What is DSV?
|
•
Traditional video as displayed on a TV monitor is analog
signal. Only TV cameras and certain CCD such as Gatan
DualVision camera can generate analog video signal. Analog
video signal is subject to detector’s cosmetic limitations.
• Digital streaming video (DSV) is widely used in
webcast (webcam) applications and can be viewed or captured
by Microsoft NetMeeting or other commercial video Capture/Edit
software.

European camera users school 2004
|
|
|
The
2004 Gatan European Camera Users School (December) was hosted
by the EM unit of the Institute of Biotechnology, University
of Helsinki. The combination of lectures in the morning
and “hands-on” laboratory sessions with cameras
and TEMs in the afternoon proved, once again, to be successful
for the three-day program. In addition, images collected
during microscope sessions and scripted exercises were timetabled
using off-line PCs. Attendees were able to appreciate all
aspects of image collection, optimization, manipulation,
processing and analysis using Gatan DigitalMicrograph software.

TEM-Nanoindentor:
New In-situ Holder from Nanofactory Instruments
and Gatan
|
In
March 2005, Nanofactory Instruments and Gatan, Inc. introduced
a new TEM holder for in situ Nanoindentation:
the TEM-Nanoindentor SA2000.N. The system is designed
to perform in situ analyses on the mechanical
properties of nanomaterials. It combines the power of
high-resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM) utilized to
monitor deformations with the precise measurements of
forces and stresses imposed on the nanostructure. Its
design makes complex, cutting edge in situ experiments
on mechanical properties of various nanomaterials simple
and straightforward.
