Advanced In-situ Liquid Phase Transmission Electron Microscopy: A Powerful Tool for Pharmaceutical Studies and Life Science Applications

Abstract

We introduce our technology for in-situ liquid phase studies inside the Transmission Electron Microscope. The system relies on a Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS)-based device as a smart sample carrier, which contains an integrated set of biasing electrodes (i.e. to perform liquid biasing, or bio-electrochemical studies) or an integrated microheater (i.e. to perform liquid heating experiments). These capabilities enable in-situ pharmaceutical and life science studies.
