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!

Direct Electron at 82nd Annual JSM Meeting!

Director of Sales Bob Monteverde will be attending The 82nd Annual Meeting of The Japanese Society of Microscopy. The conference will take place on May 25-27 in Sendai International Center, Aoba-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi. We’ll be at the Tega Science booth and looking forward to discussing our direct detectors, such as our Celeritas, Apollo, and DE-Series detectors, with attendees at the meeting. Please contact us if you’d like to schedule some time to talk with us at the event.

Dr. Barnaby Levin to Present at MSC-SMC 2026 in Montreal

Direct Electron is pleased to announce that Dr. Barnaby Levin will be presenting at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Microscopy Society of Canada / Société de Microscopie du Canada (MSC-SMC) in Montreal. MSC-SMC 2026 brings together researchers and technologists from across the microscopy community for a week of scientific exchange focused on electron microscopy, advanced imaging, analytical techniques, and emerging instrumentation. The meeting will also feature a Microscopy Summer School on May 25–26, including lectures and hands-on sessions in analytical electron microscopy, imaging data processing, advanced optical microscopy, and X-ray microscopy. We look forward to connecting with attendees throughout the meeting to discuss the latest advances in cryo-EM, diffraction, and high-performance direct detectors for TEM imaging. If you’ll be attending MSC-SMC 2026 in Montreal, we hope you’ll join Dr. Barnaby Levin’s presentation and connect with our Canadian partners Edge Scientific during the meeting.
