The TEM consists of the electron microscope itself (a JEOL JEM1400) coupled to a dedicated digital camera (a Deben AMT XR60). The required service will be the provision of a JOEL device to control the TEM with a suitable bespoke interface card to allow JOEL Transmission Electron Microscope software to communicate between the control unit display and the image source in the TEM. As part of update PHE also require the installation of an Active Silicon AS-PHX-D36-PE1 interface card and the upgrade of the camera control software to the AMT product designed specifically to work with Deben products.
