Overview

Our in-situ SEM gas cell specimen holder allows researchers to study material behavior in gases and at elevated temperatures (>1000°C), obtaining scanning electron microscope images of gas-solid interactions at real-world reaction temperatures and pressures. Gases are introduced to the microfabricated environmental cell via one of our dedicated gas delivery systems. Cell pressure is fully user-controlled and can be adjusted from high vacuum to above atmospheric pressure. Local specimen heating  is provided via an integrated MEMS heater with a temperature sensor calibrated for accurate readings. Now also with custom data/image integration options.

Sample research applications for which realistic reaction conditions can be created in the gas environmental cell are:

• Gas catalysis
• Fuel-cell research
• Growth of nano-structures
• Thin film deposition
