SUMMARY This paper describes an integrated data acquisition system built for a cryogenic STEM which is currently under construction in the authors' laboratory. Advantage was taken of modern digital and microprocessor techniques to construct a versatile and expandable system in the minimum time. The system is able to operate in conjunction with an external image processing computer or as an independent system with built‐in image processing facilities.
