Optimizing STEM spectrum image acquisition for high speed analysis
STEM EELS spectrum imaging can reveal composition and chemical changes at the nanoscale and even the atomic scale in many cases. To reveal this information, the researcher needs to optimize not only the spectrometer, but also the sample and the STEM configuration. In this webinar, we discuss how to optimize the configuration of the STEM and EELS system for high speed spectrum imaging analysis. Attendees will learn the requirements of EELS camera and spectrometer settings needed to push the limits of spectrum image performance.
High tilt liquid nitrogen cryo-transfer tomography holder training, model 914
The 914 high tilt liquid nitrogen cryo -ransfer tomography holder is designed for low temperature transfer and subsequent tomographic recording of electron beam sensitive, frozen hydrated specimens in the TEM. Tilt ranges and compatibility of specimen holders vary according to the TEM manufacturer, model, pole piece gap, and the presence of in-gap accessories.
