^{Morada G3}

The 16 megapixel TEM CCD camera Morada G3 is the reinvention of the first commercially available 11 megapixel TEM CCD camera of modern electron microscopy. It offers the best value solution for all TEM image acquisition applications which require an extremely large field of view combined with highest resolution, high frame rates and excellent contrast.

The Morada G3 provides up to 4872 x 3248 pixels, resulting in the largest field of view currently available for the side-mount (35mm) port of 36 mm x 24 mm. The 7.4 µm x 7.4 µm pixel size ensures best resolution and hence perfectly resolved images in low and mid- range magnifications. The Morada G3 camera system with its high-precision, rigid, patented mechanics uses a custom-made lens, ensuring minimum distortion and extremely high light transmission efficiency. The scintillators, optimized for the respective high tension of the specific TEM, deliver a perfect signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in an outstanding image with optimal resolution and high sensitivity.

The smart and newly designed electronics of the Morada G3 provide exposure times from 1ms to up to 60 sec. Its low power consumption renders additional water cooling redundant. Morada G3’s large full well capacity results in an efficient 14 bit dynamic range, ensuring data precision for any imaging task. The real-time functionalities of the associated imaging software, such as automatic online shading correction, also support the high-quality image results of the entire camera system.

The combination of advanced CCD technology and sophisticated electronics enables high- speed performance. This fast viewing (high-speed) mode allows the user to find specimen areas of interest quickly and efficiently, and to simultaneously zoom into interesting details without any delay. 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 Morada G3 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. At binning 4x, the Morada G3 offers more than 10fps.
