The K3® IS camera, from Gatan, is the world’s first counting, large-format, high-speed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) camera for in-situ microscopy.
Features
With unprecedented temporal resolution, this authentic next-generation camera collects the ultimate in-situ data to extend the resolution revolution of the K3 into material science.
Better
- Users can observe their sample without being distracted by beam-induced artifacts
- Capture high-quality, low-dose in-situ video with superior DQE and sensitivity
Faster
- Single electrons can be counted at unprecedented speeds
- Greater than 3500 fps at 256 × 256 pixels
- With a frame rate of 150 frames per second (fps) at full field of view
- With the best-in-class DigitalMicrograph® in-situ processing utilities and free offline tools, users can get findings faster
Larger
- Increase the field of vision to 14 or 24-megapixels, which is 1.65 times the size of the K2® IS camera

Cryogenic Transmission Electron Microscopy for Battery Materials and Interphases
Cryogenic Transmission Electron Microscopy for Battery Materials and Interphases Webinar
Cryogenic Transmission Electron Microscopy for Battery Materials and Interphases. Owing to recent developments in cryogenic TEM for materials science, it becomes possible to image Li-based battery materials in the TEM without side reactions and beam damage. The chemistry and nanostructure of the SEI can now be visualized and directly correlated to battery performance, offering unprecedented insight into electrochemical behavior and aging phenomena within batteries. In this talk, William Huang highlighted his recent work using cryo-TEM to understand SEI properties and failure modes in next-generation silicon and metallic lithium anodes. Video Credit: Gatan, Inc.
Handling In-Situ Video Data in GMS 3
Handling In-Situ Video Data in GMS 3 Webinar
Handling In-Situ Video Data in GMS 3 Webinar. Modern CMOS-based TEM cameras are capable of generating data in quantities too large to manually analyze every frame. It is not uncommon to generate hundreds of GB of data in a single session if capturing data with high spatial and temporal resolution. The key challenge is finding and extracting from the complete data set the minimal range of data that contains the desired information so that this can be analyzed in detail to yield a scientific conclusion.
