Software:
The LVEM5 is controlled through our
intuitive user software interface.
From the monitor the user is able to
change operating parameters as well
as easily switch between imaging
modes to capture comparative TEM (ultrastructure)
and SEM (surface) images.
TEM images are acquired through the
camera software which is integrated
with the LVEM5 operating software.
The software also enables one-touch
image capture in a host of formats
and live FFT analysis (for expert
users and to use as a tool for
alignment).
Digital Imaging:
In TEM mode, the final
electron-optical step in the
formation of an image is when the
beam incidents the YAG screen and
excites the scintillator to emit
photons at which point the image has
transitioned from an electron mage
to a light image.
Scientific grade digital cameras are
required to capture the YAG screen
image and convert it into a digital
image with enough brightness and
resolution to be useful for the
naked eye or for printing.
Our partner of choice in this
important interface is QImaging (www.qimaging.com),
and more specifically the Retiga
4000R.
The Retiga 4000R is a sensitive 4.19
Mega pixel camera (2,048 x 2,048
array) with high speed and low
noise. The QCapture software suite
allows users to adjust contrast and
brightness levels on the fly so real
time imaging is easily executed.
