Training guides and resources for electron microscopy.
Instrument health
Check the current condition of each function on the Spectra Ultra and the Helios G4 UX before you book: good, compromised (works with limits) or down. Staff keep it up to date.
Check instrument health →Ptychography setup calculator
Explore probe geometry, scan overlap and detector sampling. The camera-length presets are calibrated for the Spectra Ultra with the EMPAD detector at 300 kV.

The Spectra Ultra Field Guide was built from a recorded staff training session: screen, hand-panel camera, audio and the software's click log. It covers 18 modules, from first beam to atomic-resolution HAADF, at three reader levels, with video clips, simulated microscope software (TEM user interface, FluCam, Velox, TIA and DCOR) to practise without risk, a quiz and the at-the-microscope checklist.
