DE’s Carter Francis speaking at HyperSpy Workshop 2025 June 2-6

We’re excited to share that Dr. Carter Francis, Application Scientist at Direct Electron, will be presenting multiple tutorial sessions at the upcoming HyperSpy Workshop 2025. Hosted by Diamond Light Source, this international event brings together researchers, developers, and practitioners focused on open-source tools for advanced microscopy data analysis.

Dr. Francis will be leading sessions on Tuesday, June 3rd, Thursday, June 5th, and Friday, June 6th, guiding attendees through the use of HyperSpy, a Python-based platforms for multi-dimensional data analysis in electron microscopy and the 4D STEM extension package pyxem. His tutorials will focus on large data analysis, writing fast and scalable code for data analysis and using the pyxem to analyze 4D and 5D STEM data, offering valuable insights for both new and experienced users. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn directly from one of the field’s leading experts in electron microscopy software.

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running February 15-20, brings together leading researchers from around the world to present cutting-edge, often unpublished work while fostering deep scientific discussion and collaboration.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.
