Metro In-Situ Counting Cameras

Models 1130, 1133

The cutting-edge counting camera for groundbreaking imaging, diffraction, and in-situ studies.

Advantages

Metro^® series – The cutting-edge counting cameras for groundbreaking imaging, diffraction, and in-situ studies. By enabling counting capabilities, imaging your most sensitive samples and performing low-dose studies is now within reach. This not only enhances results but allows you to push the boundaries of what is possible for 2D materials, batteries, catalysts, nanotubes, polymers, and organic/biological materials.

Enables lower dose rates and detection of smaller signals on your existing TEM:

120 – 300 kV (Metro 300, model 1133)
60 – 200 kV (Metro, model 1130)

Images the most beam-sensitive specimens

Captures fine details, even at the lowest dose rates

enhanced visibility of patterns/features

Allows you to see higher-quality diffraction patterns with virtually no background

Stores in-situ, 2k video at ≤41 fps (Metro) and ≤50 fps (Metro 300)

Acquires images with the simple but powerful DigitalMicrograph^® interface that you are familiar with from the OneView^® IS camera

With one click, corrects for drift with automatic sub-frame alignment during image capture

Discover the Details

Low dose imaging of a beam-sensitive Zeolite sample

Detail is observed out to the Nyquist frequency of the camera, even at a dose rate of 0.74 e-/Å2/s and a total dose of just 25 e-/Å2, allowing a large field of view to be imaged. This is made possible by electron counting.

Metro camera for MicroED/3DED A three-dimensional electron diffraction dataset was collected with the Metro camera from a PPEA crystalline sample (courtesy of Dr. Tatiana Gorelik).

Metro 2k image of the same field of view as a OneView image, showing that the lattice fringes are still clearly resolved, due to the high DQE and minimal blurring of the Metro.

Metro captures 4D STEM data with sharper detail and less background noise; it can collect a 128 x 128 (scan) x 512 x 512 (pattern) dataset in half a minute. This color image is a map of the brightest spot orientation and intensity from such a dataset. The material is boron nitride. The color hue in the map specifies the direction from center of the strongest spot in each diffraction pattern, while the brightness corresponds to the intensity of the peak.
