TOLARA B06U
Universal 6 Megapixel Bottom-Mounted TEM CCD Camera
The brand new 6 megapixel TEM camera TOLARA B06U for the bottom mount port for almost all current and legacy TEMs combines perfect image quality and high speed with a perfect price tag.
The TOLARA joins the long and successful portfolio of bottom mount TEM cameras by EMSIS. The TOLARA camera provides a high speed at full resolution of at least 28 frames per second. Even higher speeds can be acheived with 2x and 4x binning for applications like diffraction, of which the TOLARA is fully capable of.
The tapered fiber optics have been carefully selected, based on EMSIS’ long and exceptional experience. Its overall specifications and the electronics-sensor-optics combination make no compromises despite its affordable pricing. The great versatility makes it the perfect choice the almost all standard Material and Life Sciences applications. As such its not only the perfect companion of any standard TEM but also the camera of choice for retrofitting older TEMs.
It goes without saying that all the camera related sophisticated features of the current RADIUS version are also available with the TOLARA: smart averaging, live measurements, HDRI, movie recording, drift correction, “click-to-center”, etc. – you may use them all with all EMSIS cameras, including our new TOLARA camera.
Extraordinary Resolution
Images delivering high contrast, high sensitivity and superior resolution – such a combination of advantages is the goal of most TEM users, whether novice or experts; whether for the most routine or the most demanding of TEM analyses. The TOLARA B06U camera system does this superbly with its fiber-optic taper, which increases the effective pixel size to 16.5 µm x 16.5 µm, so ideally matching scintillator thickness and pixel size and ensuring that the maximum number of photons are detected. This highly efficient conversion of primary electrons in the scintillator combined with optimized electronic design delivers a near perfect signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in an outstanding image with optimal resolution and high sensitivity. Even the finest details are reproduced perfectly in the camera image.
Large Field of View
A large field of view is one of the basic prerequisites for many TEM materials science and life science imaging applications. Such applications often need to view and record images from sample areas larger than conventional photographic film. At the same time these applications need to navigate through the sample and zoom in to evaluate details such as small particles, viruses, etc. The interline CCD chip provides 2,752 x 2,192 pixel resolution resulting in a field of view of 45.5 x 36.2 mm, which enables the camera to offer a field of view corresponding approximately to the size of a conventional photo plate. Using the stitching functionality of our image acquisition platform RADIUS, even larger images can be recorded with ease.
High Frame Rate Imaging
Advanced CCD technology with sophisticated electronics combined with high speed single-port read-out enables high speed performance. High frame rates offer astonishing capability for TEM in-situ observations of dynamic events in life science and materials science applications. Fast viewing modes allow the user to find sample areas of interest quickly and efficiently. And thanks to high frame rates, operations such as microscopy alignments and focusing are performed with high precision using the camera display instead of the TEM viewing screen. The TOLARA is a high-speed digital imaging solution supporting several binning modes as well as partial read-out. Using the binning mode increases frame rates and sensitivity. Capturing and streaming digital video directly from live images to observe dynamic events has been a basic element of the RADIUS imaging platforms for years.
Anti-blooming performance
One of the most challenging tasks for CCD TEM cameras is viewing and recording electron diffraction patterns due to blooming effects or smearing artifacts resulting from intensive illumination or overexposure. Blooming can be described as a charge overflow to neighboring CCD pixels due to pixel saturation from high intensity diffraction spots, resulting in strong intensity streaks in the recorded diffraction pattern. The TOLARA is an ideal solution for recording high resolution electron diffraction patterns. The high anti-blooming performance of the CCD sensor and advanced CCD electronic design make the recording of electron diffraction patterns without artifacts an easy and routine task. It guarantees optimum sensitivity and resolution for diffraction imaging.
Software integration
The Tengra is fully integrated with RADIUS, our TEM imaging platform. RADIUS sets a standard in attractively simple yet intuitive user control. All of our TEM cameras, as well as most remote-controlled TEMs and motorized stages, can be operated via this platform. Real-time functions such as automatic contrast enhancement ensure the best possible image capture quality. Within RADIUS, the acquired images can be processed, analyzed, archived and documented. Software add-ons tailored to your applications make it easy to increase the range of functionality offered by RADIUS.
