President

Jim Mancuso, Ph.D.


Mancuso's career began at Westinghouse's R&D Center and Combustion Engineering where he worked in materials characterization and developed image processing algorithms for semi-conductor inspection and quantitative materials analysis.

 

Later at ElectroScan, he patented the first environmental secondary electron detector and designed ElectroScan's prototype ESEM.

 

Then at JEOL USA, he developed electron optics, electron and ion detectors, SEM metrology systems, and motion control modules.

Vice President

Leo Fama


In 1992, Leo Fama, who had extensive experience in electro-mechanical design and packaging of semi-conductor equipment and scientific instrumentation, joined AMT Imaging as a partner.
 
Fama expanded the application of fast CCD cameras to virtually all existing TEMs. At the same time, he spearheaded the application of Deben UK's stage-control products to semiconductor inspection in SEMs.
 
He has also headed the sales and support of other Deben products for specimen cooling and SEM beam blanking.

AMT's History

                                                                                                                              ( Scrolling Timeline Below )

Introduction of the NanoSprint15, high sensitivity cryo imaging system

Introduction of the NanoSprint43 & AMT’s new MKII ultrafine pixel wide FOV lens

Introduction of the NanoSprint12 High performance CMOS imaging system

Introduction of new product, BioSprint29 (29 megapixel) and the NanoSprint5 sCMOS (5 megapixel) CCD cameras, for transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Introduction of new product line, BioSprint (16 megapixel) and the BioSprint12 (12 megapixel) CCD cameras, for transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Introduction of two Peltier cooled series, XR81 (8 megapixel) CCD cameras and the XR401 (4 megapixel) sCMOS cameras, for transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Introduction of the XR50 (5 megapixel), XR80 (8 megapixel) CCD cameras, as well as the XR280 (2.8 megapixel) sCMOS camera for transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

AMT introduced 2Vu™. It's method and apparatus allow simultaneous direct viewing and electronic capture of images in a transmission electron microscope (TEM).

AMT introduced its 16000 series, (current XR16), of high speed 16 megapixel TEM cameras. In addition AMT entered an ISV partnership with MicroSoft to integrate database capabilities directly into the camera acquisition software.

AMT adopted Kodak's line of 35 mm format CCDs, which have the best price/pixel ratio available. AMT also introduced the Zoom concept for TEM cameras, whereby the digital camera could be position optimally near the TEM's traditional plate film plane.

AMT developed the C-lens and XR100 TEM camera, which was a 7 megapixel "biological bottom mounted camera" with a very large image pick-up.

AMT introduced the Advantage Plus, the first 4 megapixel Side-Mounted TEM camera, again combining progressive scan CCDs with finite-conjugate optics. This was closely followed by the XR60 Side-Mounted camera featuring over 6 megapixels.

AMT developed its second finite-conjugate lens, the highly regarded A-lens, for the Advantage HR camera for TEM, which resulted in 3 times higher sensitivity, 2 times faster response, and also had significantly better image quality than previous models.

AMT introduced its first custom designed finite-conjugate lens for use in TEM cameras. This lens was the basis of the first low cost/high performance 4 megapixel camera available to clinicians.

AMT incorporated and moved to Danvers, Massachusetts.
