Description
Cardiff University is seeking a direct electron detector to replace the ageing scintillator-based camera fitted to its JEOL 2100 transmission electron microscope. The replacement detector is required to extend the useful life of the microscope, improve image quality and resolution, and enable additional cryo-electron microscopy and electron-diffraction experiments. The solution should also provide flexibility for potential transfer to another compatible microscope in the future.
