Exceptional data quality. Low noise. High speed. Advanced technology. Our custom-designed direct detectors empower you to achieve better science, faster.
Thanks to all who played along with "Where in the World is Direct Electron?" this week! Here’s another shot from Kalani’s latest stop in Europe.
This time the landmark is a giveaway — so, if you guessed Strasbourg, France, you nailed it!
