Side-mount systems:

ADVANTAGE side-mount systems are positioned at the 35 mm port. Side mounted configurations provide the widest viewing area and highest apparent sensitivity. They retract to allow full use of the normal viewing screen and the field-of-view matches or exceeds plate film. These systems are ideal for most clinical work where context is required at lower magnifications. They are also useful for diffraction work where a large field-of-view is advantageous.

Side-mounted XR41-S/XR611-S/Advantage HS-S/AMT16000-S cameras have the widest FOV and lowest mag factors. These are often favored in bio-medical applications where lower magnifications and image context are extremely important.

Bottom-mount systems:

Bottom-mounted XR41-B/XR611-B/AMT16000-B cameras have the highest mag-factors that are favored in higher magnification work typical of materials research.

The XR41-C/XR111-C are bottom-mounted designs with large FOV. These model span the entire working magnification range of the TEM and can be used for both materials and bio-medical research.

Mid-mount systems:

AMT pioneered the mid-mount configurations that place the phosphor near the plane of sheet film. The location supports a large field-of-view while still allowing the TEM to reach lattice resolution. The mid-mount phosphors can be physically larger than the side-mounted phosphor which in turn results in larger phosphor "pixels" and better optical quality. Examples of the mid-mounted cameras are the XR41-M/XR611-M/AMT16000-M.

2Vu systems:

Another innovation by AMT is moving the camera phosphor to the viewing screen position. This configuration shares the field of view and magnification range properties of the mid-mount. 2Vu systems are the XR41-2Vu/XR111-2Vu/AMT16000-2Vu, and they allow simultaneous viewing of the sreen and digital acquisition.
