K3® cameras are setting a new standard for imaging performance, serving as the benchmark for direct detection cameras.

Advantages

Entirely redesigned, this advanced camera represents the next generation for advancement in low-dose electron microscopy (EM) applications for both materials science and life science research.

The K3 camera series is the most recent product offering from Gatan, showcasing the company's proficiency in real-time, single-electron counting direct detection cameras.

  • 1,500 full frames per second –  3.75 times the speed of the K2® camera.
  • Real-time electron counting will let you know immediately if your samples are good.
  • Optional inline, GPU-based motion correction removes the need to save terabytes of raw frames.
  • Powerful inline signal processing will raise the DQE beyond that of the K2 camera; the addition of CDS mode pushes this even higher.
  • The field of view can be matched to any application requirements.
    • K3 (24 megapixels) – Maximize throughput to ensure high microscope performance
    • K3 Base (14 megapixels) – Turn screening microscopes into data collection microscopes
