ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 31 -- Xuong Nguyen-Huu of San Diego, Mark H. Ellisman of Solana Beach, Calif., and Stuart Kleinfelder of Irvine, Calif., have developed a method for transmission electron microscopy.
According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A preferred method for transmission electron microscopy includes a step of generating a microscopy signal. The microscopy signal is then detected with an active pixel detector that includes a plurality of pixels. Each of the pixels includes at least one photodiode. Each pixel integrates an incident signal over a collection time period. Using a massively parallel on chip analog to digital conversion, very fast read out times can be ...
