Ditabis - Model 25 -Imaging Plate Scanner Micron
Classical TEM Imaging using negative film materials has been partly replaced by CCD technologies in the past 10 years. While film still produces highest definition images on a big field of view it shows strong limitations in dynamics and linearity. CCD-cameras, which on one hand have the advantage of producing direct digital images, on the other hand only cover a limited area at moderate dynamic range. A third alternative, i.e. Digital Imaging Plate Technology, although known for some time, is now available and affordable for broad use and overcomes the limitations of both technologies: The results are high definition and digital images. Imaging Plates are nearly ideal electron detectors that give you highest quality digital Images. DITABIS Imaging Plate Technology enhances your results with all the benefits of digital imaging. Exploring the advantages of the Imaging Plate Technology, best results are obtained in resolution, linearity, sensitivity, dynamic range and DQE.
