The complete characterization of a novel Direct Detection Device (DDD) camera for transmission electron microscopy is reported, for the first time at primary electron energies of 120 keV and 200 keV. Unlike a standard Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera, this device does not require a scintillator. The DDD transfers signal up to 65 lines/mm providing the basis for a high-performance platform for a new generation of wide field-of-view high-resolution cameras. An image of a thin section of virus particles is presented to illustrate the substantially improved performance of this sensor over current indirectly coupled CCD cameras.
