A Leap in Performance
GIF Quantum
 |
The GIF Quantum series represents Gatan's 4th and most advanced generation of post-column energy filters. Redesigned from the ground up, the GIF Quantum combines advanced dodecapole-based electron optics with a blazing fast CCD camera system to yield an imaging filter that defines the capture of both highly detailed EELS and EFTEM data sets with maximum throughput.
With this series, there is no compromise between EFTEM and EELS performance. The patented sensor readout architecture (US Patent 5946033, 7157720) allows the same CCD sensor to be used interchangeably as a full-frame high-quality imaging device, a high-speed live viewing device, and an ultra fast spectroscopy device is series Aberration correction up to 5th order allows the use of a 1.8x larger 9 mm entrance aperture for EFTEM and a 2x larger 5 mm entrance aperture for energy loss spectroscopy at performance specifications superior to that of the GIF Tridiem. Advanced options such as a 1 µs electrostatic shutter, a 10x faster camera, a 2 keV fast spectrum offset module, and DualEELS hardware and software, allow each Quantum model to be tailored to the applications at hand.
