Ben Bammes to Present Poster at Gordon Research Conference in Newry, Maine

The conference will be held at the Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River in Newry, Maine, June 15 – 20

At the upcoming Gordon Research Conference on Expanding Frontiers of Cryo-EM Technologies, our Director of Research & Development, Dr. Benjamin Bammes, will present a poster titled “Recent Results & Developments from the Apollo Event-Based Counting Camera.”

The poster will feature recent performance enhancements to the Apollo camera, exciting new single-particle cryo-EM results from Dr. David Bhella (University of Glasgow), and calculations to determine the optimal magnification for maximizing efficiency in single-particle cryo-EM, including an analysis of how different experimental parameters affect total data acquisition time.

If you’ll be attending, be sure to look out for this presentation showcasing how Apollo continues to help advance the frontiers of cryo-EM. We hope to see you there!

Dr. Barnaby Levin Attending TEM Gordon Research Conference

We’re pleased to share that our Applications Scientist, Dr. Barnaby Levin, is attending the upcoming Transmission Electron Microscopy for Materials Research Gordon Research Conference, one of the premier international meetings focused on advancing the frontiers of TEM science and instrumentation, to give a talk about cutting-edge MAPS Detector Technology. The conference, running February 15-20, brings together leading researchers from around the world to present cutting-edge, often unpublished work while fostering deep scientific discussion and collaboration. This year’s program highlights recent breakthroughs in high-resolution TEM imaging and spectroscopy, while addressing key challenges such as imaging radiation-sensitive materials, improving throughput, and resolving structures in thicker samples. As TEM technology continues to push toward theoretical limits, meetings like this help shape the next decade of innovation in materials characterization. We’re excited to see Barnaby engaging with the global TEM community and contributing to discussions driving the field forward. And don’t forget to follow him on BlueSky at @bdalev.bsky.social!

Direct Electron to give talk at Fall MRS in Boston

DE Applications Scientist, Dr. Barnaby Levin, will be presenting a talk at the 2025 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit, going on from November 30 through December 5, in Boston, Massachusetts. Barnaby will be presenting on the latest advances in event-based detectors and cutting-edge software for in situ TEM imaging. His talk will highlight how our pioneering detector technology is enabling researchers to capture ultrafast, dynamic processes with unparalleled clarity and efficiency.
