Electron Diffraction Images for Structural Analysis: Ceta-D Camera

Micro electron diffraction detector for organic molecules, proteins, and bio pharmaceuticals.


The Thermo Scientific Ceta-D Camera is a scintillator-based camera optimized for low-dose diffraction data collection. It is ideal for working with dose-sensitive materials, such as proteins, pharmaceutical molecules, and organic materials.

The camera’s high sensitivity allows for reliable detection of high-resolution, low-intensity diffraction peaks, and its high signal-to-noise ratio enables accurate measurement of the integrated peak intensity. Both of these properties are prerequisites for obtaining high-resolution structural information. After acquisition, the diffraction patterns and metadata are readily available for processing (similar to standard X-ray diffraction data), using software packages like DIALS or XDS. Resolutions better than 1 Å have been reported.

MicroED package

Coupled with the Ceta-D Camera, the MicroED Package provides all the necessary elements to perform micro electron diffraction, either on a new instrument or as a retrofit onto an existing tool. It includes:

  • Thermo Scientific EPU-D Software for screening and automated data acquisition. EPU-D Software now expands the intuitive capabilities and unified user experience of Thermo Scientific EPU Software to the electron crystallography domain. 
  • Optimized smaller beam stop to mask the central beam without blocking low-resolution diffraction spots. 
  • Optimized aperture set to maximally suppress unwanted background signals from the area surrounding the crystal. 
  • Dedicated electron-optical settings to enable optimal camera utilization while benefiting from best sample-beam geometry.

The MicroED Package is a perfect match with the CETA-D Camera but may also be combined with other Thermo Scientific cameras for special application requirements.
