[3dem] [EXT] Windows XP T12 camera

[Anastasia GAZI]

Hello Guy, 

On my side, XF416 (TVIPS) is the best camera I ever used for plastic cell sections. With amazing real time drift correction. 
Definitely recommended if you plan to have long unattended acquisitions in that microscope with SerialEM.

All the best, 
Anastasia

imaging?
 
I think you got responses with the options which are possible. 
I can comment on two - the Gatan Rio16 (4x4 k) is fine and fast, but the physical pixel is 9 um (only); the Rio9 only has 3x3 k pixels; while on a TVIPS
XF416 (my favorite), you get 16 Mio pixels, each 14 um large, with obvious advantages concerning sensitivity. - I cannot comment on the physical pixel size on AMT cameras. 
And, it also depends on other factors, your budget / discount in your country, and local support, service after sales. You will think about this, too. 
With TVIPS, the support has been perfect in the last 20+x years. In my experience. 
My 2 cents (oh yes, these cameras will cost you more than 2 cents, I know). 
kind regards,
Reinhard
