Higashimatsuyama, Saitama, Japan (Feb. 27, 2026):HREM Research Inc. has announced the release of QED v2.0 with the ALCHEMI mode. The ALCHEMI mode enables dopant analysis from a nm-order area, which has never been possible before. ALCHEMI (Atom Location by Channeling Enhanced Microanalysis) is a useful technique for studying substitutional atoms (dopants) in crystals. However, the …
Higashimatsuyama, Saitama, Japan (Oct. 31, 2025): HREM Research Inc. announced that qHolo has been released in its definitive form. The software qHolo is a powerful plug-in for DigitalMicrograph that reconstructs and displays the quantitative information from off-axis electron holograms. qHolo provides all the tools you need to carry out off-line quantitative analysis of electron holograms. …
Higashimatsuyama, Saitama, Japan (April 30, 2019): HREM Research Inc. officially released HoloLive! that was introduced last year at IMC19 in Sydney, Australia. HoloLive! reconstructs and displays the phase from electron holograms in real time at the microscope during experiments. HoloLive! is the plug-in for DigitalMicrograph that was jointly developed with CEMES-CNRS, Toulouse, France. HoloLive! comes …
Higashimatsuyama, Saitama, Japan (Aug. 15, 2018): HREM Research Inc. introduced qDPC for DigitalMicrograph. The DPC (Differential Phase Contrast) is a technique to obtain a high contrast image from a phase object in STEM (Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope). The qDCP gives a boundary-artifact-free phase contrast image by integrating DPC signals contrary to the solution given by …
Higashimatsuyama, Saitama, Japan (Sept. 30, 2016): HREM Research Inc. introduced SmartAlign for DigitalMicrograph. The SmartAlign corrects slow instability of probe scanning system (scan distortion) from fast-acquisition multi-frame images using rigid and non-rigid image alignment. Thus, SmartAlign restores resolution before degradation, and improves image quality. Procedures of SmartAlign have been developed by Lewys Jones and Peter …
