The only hybrid-pixel electron detector with Gatan Microscopy Suite.

The Gatan Stela is a complete, fully integrated system for advanced 4D STEM diffraction, featuring a hybrid-pixel electron detector with STEMx. It’s the winner of a 2021 Microscopy Today Innovation Award.
The only hybrid-pixel electron detector with Gatan Microscopy Suite.
Bringing 4D STEM to the mainstream.
For materials that require diffraction studies at <80 kV.
Cover large sample areas quickly.
Stela is the only fully integrated hybrid-pixel detector with STEMx. Analyse and assess results in minutes, optimise experiments and collect the best 4D STEM dataset possible – so you can turn subtle observations into insights in a matter of moments.
“I am very pleased by this agreement with DECTRIS, as their hybrid-pixel electron detectors truly complements our current portfolio and unified workflows within Gatan Microscopy Suite. With this new camera, we are now able to offer our researchers complete, efficient workflows to perform advanced, high speed and high quality 4D STEM diffraction studies.”
Narayan Vishwanathan – Vice President & Business Unit Manager, Gatan
“Hybrid-pixel electron detectors by DECTRIS bring countless opportunities for materials science TEM and STEM applications, such as 4D STEM, from increased instrument throughput to reduced total cumulative electron dose. The synergy between Gatan and DECTRIS will bring our technology to the thriving electron microscopy market.”
Dr. Christian Broennimann – Chief Executive Officer, DECTRIS
4D STEM is an electron microscopy technique that captures a full 2D diffraction pattern at each pixel position on a STEM map. Access a wealth of diffraction data with your TEM.
A new fully-integrated system from Gatan and DECTRIS provides low-voltage capabilities for electron counting on EELS, EFTEM and energy-filtered 4D STEM over the entire 30 - 300 kV voltage range.
