ELECTRON TOMOGRAPHY
Electron Tomography has become a widely known and versatile TEM method for obtaining 3-dimensional sample information. This 3-D information is of critical importance for understanding biological systems such as proteins, protein-nucleic acid complexes and macromolecular machines. The iTEM Solution Tomography enables the user to obtain the desired results with the highest accuracy and reliability – with minimal user intervention. The user-friendly workflow including the automatic acquisition, alignment, reconstruction and visualization makes it very easy to achieve the best results from a tomographic sample – even for inexperienced users.
VIRUS IDENTIFICATION
Viral gastroenteritis is an infection caused by a variety of viruses that results in vomiting or diarrhea. iTEM Solution Virology provides a new technological approach in automated detection and identification of these viruses in highly textured electron microscopy micrographs. Using digital TEM image acquisition and analysis, an automated virus detection workflow can be used. Such a workflow automates the process of manual inspection of TEM images, increasing speed and reliability and supporting the diagnostic procedure.
TEM CAMERAS
Using digital technology in the field of TEM offers unique and attractive advantages. With the right digital camera and software, image acquisition, analysis, storage and documentation become much more efficient compared to conventional analog approaches. The G2 SERIES represents the newest Olympus Soft Imaging Solutions TEM camera line. This latest generation of Olympus Soft Imaging Solutions high resolution TEM CCD cameras is based on a finely balanced concept of electronics, optics, design and functionality. Each of the cameras of the G2 Series reflects the current requirements of industry, biomedicine, life sciences and the materials sciences.
TEM IMAGING SOFTWARE
Digital technology is the standard in today’s field of transmission electron microscopy: New microscopes are developed as integrated computer controlled digital systems. Image acquisition proceeds through high-resolution digital cameras – as opposed to photo plates only a few years ago. In addition, the external opportunities for automation are practically revolutionizing the way people work with TEMs and further analysis of the images ouside of the laboratory. Especially in conjunction with image processing software, scenarios once thought impossible are now becoming common-place. iTEM is the ideal platform for these tasks in today’s TEM imaging. Solution-oriented extension packages offer an efficient means of expanding the capabilities of the base version of iTEM.
