In-situ TEM

In-situ TEM expands the possibilities for advanced materials research by enabling experiments under realistic operating conditions. These tools allow us to observe dynamic processes in real time, providing unique insights into phase transformations, chemical reactions, and failure mechanisms.

Capabilities

  • Heating and Biasing Holder: Simultaneous thermal and electrical stimulation of samples. Ideal for studying resistive switching, electromigration, and temperature-dependent behavior in functional materials.
  • Cryo Holder: Imaging at cryogenic temperatures (liquid N₂), preserving sensitive structures and enabling studies of temperature-dependent phenomena in soft or beam-sensitive materials.
  • Heating + Gas Holder: Experiments under controlled gas environments at elevated temperatures—perfect for catalysis studies, oxidation/reduction reactions, and environmental TEM investigations.

Applications

  • Real-time observation of phase transformations
  • Catalysis and gas-solid interface studies
  • Electrical and thermal stress testing
  • Corrosion and oxidation behavior analysis
