DE-64 Camera System More Information Specifications Request a Quote Overview Imagine the impact of having the performance of a direct detector and the power of “movie-mode” with the enormous field-of-view of photographic film… Direct Electron is proud to announce our new DE-64 Camera System, the world’s first and only true 8k × 8k direct detector. The DE-64’s enormous 67.1 megapixel field-of-view is ideal for cryo-EM of very large viruses or cellular tomography, where a conventional camera may not capture a large enough area to be effective. Additionally, the ultra-large field-of-view dramatically decreases the number of images needed for each single particle experiment and improves 3D reconstructions by significantly improving CTF fitting. The world’s first and only true 8k × 8k direct detector. The DE-64 features the 10th generation of our revolutionary Direct Detection Device (DDD?) sensor, delivering industry-leading resolution and flexible “movie-mode.” Although building an 8k direct detection sensor was challenging, we did not sacrifice performance by reducing the pixel size or features of the DE-64. The DE-64 has 6.5 μm pixels optimized for superior resolution (MTF) over a broad range of magnifications and exposure rates, it includes an integrated Faraday plate and 2k × 2k survey sensor, and it delivers user-adjustable full-frame streaming at up to 30 frames per second (fps).

Direct Electron acknowledges the National Institutes of Health (USA) for supporting the development of the DE-64 under grant 3R44GM103417. Highlights All of our DE-series cameras deliver state-of-the-art performance and unique features that make them ideal for a wide range of TEM applications. Direct detection of primary electrons?a revolutionary advancement in TEM data quality. High signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with consistent performance across all spatial frequencies and TEM magnifications. Enormous 8k × 8k field-of-view. This direct detection camera is truly in a class by itself. “Movie mode” provides high-speed acquisition of a continuous stream of frames. Innovative movie-processing software further enhances data quality through drift correction, per-particle motion correction, radiation damage compensation, post-acquisition exposure setting, etc. High performance for demanding applications, while maintaining ease-of-use and flexibility to maximize data collection efficiency. Ultra high performance imaging in an elegantly designed, flexible, and easy-to-use camera system. Focus on generating results, not on the peculiarities of your camera. Key Features Enormous 8k × 8k field of view delivers 4x as much data with each exposure as a lesser 4k × 4k camera. High-speed continuous streaming of raw frames, with flexible frame rate and exposure time. Optional module to enable single electron counting. Integrated near-axis 2k × 2k sur vey sensor. Integrated Faraday plate for automated exposure measurement. Integrated sensor protection cover. Bottom mount or in JEOL film chamber. Fully retractable with no sliding O-rings. Open software architecture?fully extensible and easily integrated into custom workflows. Complete access to raw data in industry-standard file formats.
