This November, TESCAN ORSAY HOLDING a.s., a global supplier and manufacturer of microCT’s, scanning electron microscopes, and focused ion beam systems, launched its first Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM). DECTRIS is proud to be part of this debut and see its QUADRO detector fully integrated into TESCAN’s new solution.

When it comes to crystallography labs, one size definitely does not fit all. At the University of Aarhus, the idea is to run the lab like a multipurpose beamline. Dr. Jakob Voldum Ahlburg, the lab Manager, shares some insights into what this means.

DECTRIS ARINA, a new hybrid-pixel electron detector designed for 4D STEM applications. This detector model was first presented to the community at the M&M 2022 in Portland and will be available for ordering in summer 2023.

Performing X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements is no longer reserved only for synchrotron beamlines. A lab-based solution developed at the BLiX lab (Technical University Berlin) has now been commercialized by HP Spectroscopy.

Founded in 2019, ELDICO Scientific embarked on an ambitious journey: The company wants to make electron diffraction, a promising analytical technique for nano-scale research, easy and accessible to the industry and academia.

Electron Microscopy (EM) is a fast-evolving field. Researchers and scientists are always developing new techniques and testing new approaches, while instrument manufacturers are releasing more automated and easier-to-use microscopes and integrating new technology to help yield better results.

In the last couple of years, cadmium-telluride (CdTe) detectors have been on the tips of all the tongues here at DECTRIS. With more and more CdTe detectors out in the field, but fewer and fewer opportunities to connect with all of you, our users, we felt inspired to bring high-energy research to your desktops. In a series of webinars, we met many scientists who are working with these cameras. While you may have caught some of the talks, we thought you would want to know how things were for us on the other side of the screen.

At the end of 2020, Gatan and DECTRIS announced the launch of the Stela: a combination of a hybrid-pixel electron detector and the Gatan Microscopy Suite^® platform that offers a complete workflow for advanced 4D STEM diffraction.

The ID15B beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) was built four years ago, replacing its predecessor ID09A, in order to enable investigations of materials under extreme conditions.

After a successful integration of DECTRIS ELA^® detector into Gatan’s DigitalMicrograph^® software and introduction of the Stela camera to their portfolio, the EM manufacture from California is now announcing the DECTRIS-powered hybrid-pixel camera as a low-voltage partner to the Gatan’s GIF Continuum^® K3^® product line to enable advanced EELS and 4D STEM over the full energy range of today's S/TEM.
