When every nanosecond counts, traditional detectors fall short. Merlin T4 is built for researchers pushing the limits of 4D-STEM, time-resolved TEM for imaging dynamic processes, and ultrafast diffraction for structural studies. Powered by CERN’s Timepix4 ASIC, it offers a unique combination of frame-based and event-based acquisition, letting you capture what others miss — without compromise.
With Merlin T4, your 4D STEM acquisition is no longer bound by traditional detector framerates; instead, you collect 4D-STEM data at native scanning speeds. Furthermore, whether you're studying phase transitions, beam-sensitive samples, or 4D-STEM, Merlin T4 delivers the fidelity and timing you need to reveal transient material behaviours in real time.
