To start the new semester, our team got together for a nice lunch. We chatted about summer work and plans for the fall while enjoying good food. It was a great chance to catch up and get ready for another busy semester ahead!

Our group has completed structured training and the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for using the ARINA camera on the Talos F200X G2 TEM, in collaboration with our engineers. This work establishes repeatable workflows and ensures readiness for rapid, high-quality 4DSTEM data collection.

We are pleased to announce a major milestone in our 4D Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (4DSTEM) program. Our group has integrated the DECTRIS ARINA direct electron detector with the Talos F200X G2 transmission electron microscope (TEM) at the Zhangjiang Institute for Advanced Study, following a productive collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University Instrumental Analysis Center (SJTU-IAC).
