In this electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) webinar, we demonstrate the capabilities of Gatan electron counting cameras, and eaSI™ technology, which together enable SI data capture at rates of up to 9,000 pixels/s. The near-zero read noise afforded by these cameras enables these ultra-high spectral rates to be utilised effectively, meaning a multi-frame acquisition approach is typically highly advantageous for all experimental workflows. Large field of view single SI passes can be acquired in just a few seconds, which gives the benefits of reduced dose rate data capture and high-frequency drift correction. Compromised data can be discarded post-acquisition, allowing “dose tuning” to be performed after the fact – ideal when you don’t know the critical damage dose ahead of time for total-dose sensitive samples.

A broad range of application examples using this methodology are presented, including elemental mapping in frozen cell sections (STEM cryo-EELS), electron energy loss near-edge structure (ELNES) mapping of transition metal K-edges (ultra-high energy-loss EELS), as well as atomic resolution EELS mapping of beam-sensitive oxides at low temperature (HR-STEM, Cryo-EELS).

Time: 3am - 4am AEDT

In spectroscopy, CCD or EMCCD technology is usually used. However, researchers are moving towards sCMOS technology due to their higher spectra rates and high dynamic ranges. This webinar will delve into how sCMOS technology could be beneficial in some applications with some examples where the technology is already being used. Folusho Balogun is a field application specialist in spectroscopy covering the EMEAI region. Folusho’s background is in spectroscopy where she worked in a photonics group using ultrafast techniques such as Transient Absorption Spectroscopy, THz spectroscopy and Time Resolved Photoluminescence. 
 

Learning Objectives:
• To understand the difference between CCD and sCMOS technology
• To understand the main benefits of sCMOS technology that is applicable to spectroscopy
• To know different applications that sCMOS technology is already being used in
