The spatial resolution and flexibility of the Scanning/Transmission Electron Microscope (S/TEM) as a characterization tool is unmatched. Atomic resolution imaging is quickly becoming an essential component in the characterization workflow. The experimental capabilities of the side-entry S/TEM are also readily augmented by the addition of specialized sample holders, which can subject the sample to various conditions in situ. Holders for the S/TEM can expose samples to heating, cryogenic conditions, gases, liquids, and mechanical strain [1]. Most of these holders are available in stable configurations suitable for high resolution imaging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
