<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#004080">Dear all, </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#004080">Has anyone experienced similar CMOS malfunction/damage on TEM camera or could anyone tell what could have caused this kind of malfunction?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#004080">Attached is one illustrative image (flat field-corrected) plus dark frame image (uncorrected) for a reference. Both images were saved as 8-bit TIFFs (4K) and binned 4 (to reduce file size for email).
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#004080">Note the two vertical stripes - they look exactly like motion blur filter applied at zero angle with distance of 10 pixel (simulated in Photoshop).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#004080">Any suggestions?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#004080">Camera status description is also attached.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#004080"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#004080">Thank you for advice,</span></p>
