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.
