Barnaby Levin to Present Poster & Talk at MMC in Manchester UK

Dr. Barnaby Levin, Application Scientist at Direct Electron, will be at the Microscience Microscopy Congress (MMC 2025) in Manchester, UK, taking place July 1–3, 2025.

Dr. Levin will be contributing both a talk and a poster presentation focused on the capabilities of MAPS direct detectors in advanced electron microscopy applications:

Talk – Thursday, July 3
“In situ 4D STEM of supercooled metallic liquid with a fast MAPS detector”
This presentation will highlight recent results revealing dynamic behavior in metallic liquids via 4D STEM.
Poster – Wednesday, July 2
“Applications of a MAPS direct detector for high-resolution, low-keV electron microscopy”
The poster will showcase how MAPS technology enables high-resolution imaging even at low accelerating voltages—ideal for beam-sensitive materials.

If you’re attending MMC 2025, don’t miss the opportunity to connect with Dr. Levin and learn how Direct Electron is pushing the boundaries of electron microscopy.
