OUR PURPOSE

There is always more to see. And when you’re working with electron microscopy, the closer you can get to your sample, the more of its secrets it will reveal.

That’s why at Gatan we have spent the last 50 years working with our customers to push the boundaries of what can be done with electron microscopy. Together, we have invented new approaches to problems that deliver fresh understanding.

With state of the art cameras, imaging energy filters, specimen preparation equipment and other EM products and solutions, we take the most powerful microscopy on earth and make it work even harder for you.

Gatan. Let’s get closer.

  • GIF Continuum K3 System
    Electron counting for all your EELS, EFTEM, and energy-filtered 4D STEM applications....

  • ADVANTAGES 
     

    The GIF Continuum® K3® series employs the revolutionary K3 direct detection counting detector for the highest fidelity electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) data possible. Powered by the DigitalMicrograph® and AutoFilter® platforms, the GIF Continuum K3 is simple to operate without sacrificing any of the power or flexibility needed for modern experiments. Pair the K3 with an optional scintillator detector or the Stela™ hybrid-pixel camera for the most versatile system available.
