Electron Detectors for Scaning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) in SEM and TEM

Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) is a popular technique with growing interest that is applied to a broad variety of specimens in SEM as well as in TEM. Electrons are detected after they have been transmitted through the sample at angles below the incident beam con­vergence angle (bright field, BF) and electrons with high (annular dark field, ADF) or very high scattering angles (high angle annular dark field, HAADF).

PNDetector’s annular STEM detectors are based on fully depleted p-i-n diodes with a thickness of 450 μm. This minimizes the signal capacitance to values of only several pF, which is mandatory for achieving high detector speeds and low noise levels.
