[3dem] new camera ...

[Reinhard Rachel]

Hi Denis, 
just a remark ... I understand the hype about the direct detector cameras ... 
BUT, for daily work, I still prefer the 'old' technology with scintiallator which you can buy e.g. at TVIPS (e.g. the TVIPS FX416) which is very sensitive (although not being a direct detector ... yes, this is possible), and which is very fast, in addition (CMOS technology). And it is affordable, IMO, and reliable. 
we are successfully using an 'old' F416 since 6-7 years on a 200kV FEG TEM (JEOL 2100F) and are very satisfied. 
Large detector area. Excellent for both, imaging and diffraction. Perfect for cryo-screening anyway (e.g. using SerialEM), and good enough for tomography of plastic or even cryo-tomo, as the sensitivity is high. 
kind regards - Reinhard
