Stela Hybrid-Pixel Camera: Fully Integrated Hybrid-Pixel Electron Detector

The Stela Hybrid-Pixel Camera is the fully integrated hybrid-pixel electron detector from the Gatan Microscopy Suite software programmed for the latest electron diffraction studies.

Features:

Introducing Stela™ — the only fully integrated hybrid-pixel electron detector with the Gatan Microscopy Suite^® (GMS) software for the latest electron diffraction studies. It makes use of the DECTRIS hybrid-pixel electron technology that applies electron counting to reduce noise and utilizes on-the-fly digitization for the utmost dynamic range.

One Platform, Many Solutions

Market-leading GMS software: Easily combines diffraction imaging and 4D STEM along with hybrid-pixel electron detection

Rapidly transforms subtle observations into bright insights: Examine and evaluate results in minutes to improve the experiment and gather the best possible 4D STEM dataset

Diffraction Uncompromised

Outstanding dynamic range for 4D STEM: Captures intense and weak reflections to allow the latest diffraction studies

Obtains a 4D cube at >16,000 pixels/s:

Decreases specimen drift and damage

Covers huge sample areas in less time

Enhanced for imaging at low kV: Perfect for materials that need diffraction studies at <80 kV
