[3dem] Direct electron detection

[Hernando Sosa]

Hi,

Recently, I asked a about cameras for TEM, as we are considering 
upgrading the camera in our microscope and  got quite few very useful 
responses (thanks!).   The new kids on the block seem to be the direct 
electron detection systems which seems to provide much improved MTFs 
over the previous cameras using an intermediate light emission step.    
I wonder if anyone has experience with these newer cameras that they 
could share. I realize that these systems are relatively  new and that 
not many labs outside the ones developing the cameras may have had 
access to one.  In any case I'll be interested in hearing any comments.

Thanks

Hernando
