Extract

Excellent linearity and high sensitivity have made SSCs the ideal image detector for almost every TEM application. Their ability to make high quality digital images available within fraction of seconds for further evaluation and processing in a PC, have made them a non-dispensable accessory for any modern TEM. However, despite their excellent characteristics, SSCs provide a restricted number of individual image points in respect to a negative, what is considered to be the main disadvantage of this detector. To compensate for this, CCDs with 2048x2048 pixel are available since some time. SSCs using these 2kx2k CCD arrays not only provide 4 times the pixel number but also offer a lot more options people have waiting for: e. g. highly resolved low-dose or ESI images with significantly improved signal to noise ratio, or higher resolved images for diffraction analysis and holographic reconstruction.
