Prof. Paul Voyles and researchers at the University of Wisconsin Madison in the USA have published new results acquired using a Celeritas XS detector in Nano Letters.

The detector’s rapid acquisition speed and sensitivity allowed them to record a low-dose electron diffraction pattern at every probe position whilst scanning the electron probe across a thin molecular glass film, without disrupting the structure of the specimen through radiation damage.

This allowed them to map and compare the orientations of molecules at nanometer-scale resolution in molecular glasses synthesized at different temperatures.
