Whether you're characterizing known materials or studying new samples with unknown features, our in situ products enable you to manipulate and explore a wide variety of material properties.
Characterizing material systems often requires numerous tools that must be used independently to understand the underlying science. With in situ electron microscopy, you can often use your microscope to simultaneously study the structure, processing, properties, and performance of material systems in real-time.
The Poseidon platform enables observation of dynamic processes in situ. This movie shows the formation of salt crystals from a saturated solution of phosphate buffered saline. Images were acquired at a rate of 1 frame per second and are shown at 5 times real speed. 500 nm liquid thickness. Images collected using a Philips/FEI CM300FEG TEM at 300 kV.
