Tecnai NanoSprint12S-B camera system

About the NanoSprint12S-B camera

Our Tecnai TEM is now equipped with the NanoSprint12S-B cMOS camera from Advanced Microscopy Techniques. AMT’s NanoSprint12S-B camera system creates large 12 megapixel. This system achieves high sensitivity and resolution by employing the use of AMT’s highly corrected B-lens. This camera system is an excellent choice for clinical pathology and other applications requiring magnifications lower than 50kx; yet it is also capable of lattice imaging at high magnifications.
