Applications for TEM
Imaging Plate Scanner Micron
For Transmission Electron Microscopy Applications - High resolution imaging plate scanner for all applications in transmission electron microscopy
Imaging Plates are nearly ideal electron detectors that give you highest quality digital images.
DITABIS Imaging Plate Technology enhances your results with all the benefits of digital imaging. Exploring the advantages of the Imaging Plate Technology, best results are obtained in resolution, linearity, sensitivity, dynamic range and DQE.
The almost ideal electron detector for a broad range of applications for
- Low dose cryo (biological or beam sensitive samples)
- High resolution TEM imaging for weak phase contrast samples
- Material science (material characterization)
- Diffraction pattern
High sensitivity and dynamic range
- Electron grey level conversion factor of five (approx. 10 times higher compared to negative film sensitivity)
- Linear range over 6 orders of magnitude
- Signal-to-noise ratio 1:10 (2 channels combined), 1:14 (with image corrections)
Additional advantages
- No wet chemistry needed
- Cost effective - reusable Imaging Plates, suitable for any TEM instruments
- Stand alone device
- Working at any microscopes accelerating voltages
- Second channel allows reflected laser light detection for advanced noise-correction.
