K2-IS can reach 1600 frames per second, generat the same volume of data, if you want!
K2-IS, not only generate huge amount of data, but also gives a lot of information, that is the real thing an application will need. If an application needs a time resolution information, up to ms, only K2-IS can do that! Well, if an application does not sensitive to frame rate that much, of course, frame sum can be used to reduce the frame rate and trade off some data volume. It's free choice for customer. (That is to say, you can drive a sports car slowly, but you can't speed up a track to catch upa sports car.) Plus, you get high sensitivity and high resolution image by using Gatan's patented back thinned CMOS direct detection chip. Moreover, K2-IS can be covered to K2 Summit by customer, to give counting mode and super resolution mode, when needed. It is really worth the money.
Any other camera can go to generate big data volume, either by adding useless pixels, or adding none-sense frames, or just draging to a longer acquisition time. But, what's the information a user can get from a camera, will make the different. There has not been any other camera, that can do the same thing as K2-IS.
Yet, the data volume is huge, and it becomes a heavy loading for user to transfer. That's why Gatan develop new GMS in-situ application, that has look-back function, and improved data management control pannel. It helps you to organize your data, pull out useful information. You should always throw away useless date.
