DE-12 Camera System More Information Informational Flyer Specifications Request a Quote Overview Time to throw off the limits of traditional CCD cameras and start collecting continuous streams of incredible TEM images… High-performance with fast and flexible frame rates, at an economical price. As the very first commercially-available direct detection camera, the DE-12 (4k × 3k pixels) has a long history of reliability and productivity. The current updated DE-12 features the 8th generation of our revolutionary Direct Detection Device (DDD?) sensor, delivering industry-leading resolution and flexible “movie-mode.” The DE-12 has 6.0 μm pixels optimized for excellent resolution (MTF) over a broad range of magnifications and exposure rates, it includes an integrated Faraday plate, and it delivers full-frame unbinned streaming at up to 40 frames per second (fps). Many users choose to acquire data at 75 fps with full-frame readout and 2×-binning, and substantially faster frame rates can be achieved by reducing the readout array size.

Direct Electron acknowledges the National Institutes of Health (USA) for supporting the development of the DE-series cameras under grants 1R43RR024964 and 2R44RR024964. 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. “Movie mode” provides high-speed acquisition of a continuous stream of frames with nearly 100% duty cycle (no dead time between 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. The ultimate camera for in situ TEM, ETEM, DTEM, and other high-speed applications. Ultra high performance imaging in an elegantly designed, flexible, and easy-to-use camera system. Key Features 4k × 3k field-of-view delivers 3× more pixels than an typical 2k × 2k camera. High-speed continuous streaming of raw frames, with flexible frame rate and exposure time. Class-leading dynamic range, making it effective for a wide variety of applications. Optional module to enable single electron counting. Integrated Faraday plate for automatic exposure measurement. Integrated sensor protection cover. Bottom mount or in JEOL film chamber. Fully retractable with no sliding O-rings. Ability to collect very long uninterrupted movies. Open software architecture?fully extensible and easily integrated into custom workflows. Complete access to raw data in industry-standard file formats.
