== Abstract ==<br />
<br />
A new generation of direct electron detectors for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) promises significant<br />
improvement over previous detectors in terms of their modulation transfer function (MTF) and<br />
detective quantum efficiency (DQE). However, the performance of these new detectors needs to be carefully<br />
monitored in order to optimize imaging conditions and check for degradation over time. We have<br />
developed an easy-to-use software tool, FindDQE, to measure MTF and DQE of electron detectors using<br />
images of a microscope’s built-in beam stop. Using this software, we have determined the DQE curves<br />
of four direct electron detectors currently available: the Gatan K2 Summit, the FEI Falcon I and II, and<br />
the Direct Electron DE-12, under a variety of total dose and dose rate conditions. We have additionally<br />
measured the curves for the Gatan US4000 and TVIPS TemCam-F416 scintillator-based cameras. We compare<br />
the results from our new method with published curves.<br />
