In situ systems for compatible JEOL TEM, STEM, SEM, and FIB-SEM workflows.
Hummingbird Scientific supports compatible JEOL electron microscopes with in situ systems for liquid, gas, heating, electrical biasing, electrochemistry, transfer, tomography, and custom experimental workflows.
Product fit depends on the microscope model, pole-piece, stage or chamber configuration, analytical accessories, and intended experiment. Contact Hummingbird for confirmation of the appropriate system, interface, and purchase path.

How to buy a Hummingbird product for your
JEOL
microscope
Customers can purchase directly from Hummingbird Scientific. For a new or existing JEOL microscope project, Hummingbird can review the holder, stage, or chamber interface; controller and utility requirements; and any installation or workflow considerations before quotation.
- Provide the JEOL microscope model and configuration.
- Describe the experiment and required environment or stimulus.
- Confirm the product, microscope interface, controllers, and utilities required for the workflow.
- Receive a quotation from Hummingbird and confirm the appropriate purchase path.
- Confirm the quotation, purchase path, and any installation, training, software, or custom-integration requirements.

Information for OEM sales and applications teams
Supporting a JEOL customer who needs an in situ TEM, STEM, SEM, or FIB-SEM system? Hummingbird can help identify relevant products, review the microscope interface, provide technical specifications and quotation support, and involve applications or engineering staff when the project requires custom integration.
- Review the JEOL-compatible product collection.
- Request model, pole-piece, stage, chamber, or holder-interface confirmation.
- Request product specifications and quotation support.
- Contact Hummingbird sales, applications, or engineering for project-specific requirements.

Why Hummingbird for JEOL microscopes?
JEOL TEM, STEM, SEM, and FIB-SEM workflows may require more than a standard specimen holder. Hummingbird develops systems around the microscope interface, experimental environment, supporting hardware, and data workflow.
- Built around the microscope: Holder geometry, pole-piece, stage and chamber interfaces, vacuum conditions, analytical access, utilities, and sample handling are considered together.
- Developed in-house: Mechanical and electrical design, precision machining, microfabrication, assembly, controls, calibration, and microscopy testing remain connected.
- Direct technical access: Customers and OEM teams can work directly with the people who design, build, test, and support the system.
- Open workflow path: Hummingbird hardware and data are developed to connect with microscope software, metadata, analytical tools, custom scripting, and future automation.

Cross-platform and custom engineering
Some experiments benefit from observing the same material system across TEM, SEM or FIB-SEM, X-ray, and optical microscopy. For selected liquid, gas, heating, biasing, electrochemistry, and custom workflows, Hummingbird can develop related sample-cell architectures, chips, carriers, and experimental conditions across more than one microscopy method.
Hummingbird’s removable liquid-cell tip architecture already supports correlative workflows across dedicated TEM, SEM, X-ray, and optical holders, allowing the same cell design to be used across complementary measurements.
For JEOL platforms, Hummingbird can evaluate custom TEM holders, SEM and FIB-SEM chamber interfaces, feedthroughs, specimen carriers, transfer tools, controllers, environmental cells, and complete in situ systems when standard configurations are not enough.

Hummingbird Connect™ for JEOL workflows
Hummingbird Connect™ is Hummingbird Scientific’s pathway for making in situ hardware data part of the microscope workflow. Temperature, pressure, flow, bias, timing, sample state, and controller status can become part of the experimental record instead of remaining separate from the image and acquisition context.
For JEOL platforms, the development path includes PyJEM- and FEMTUS-centered TEM and STEM workflows, IDES Scope Composer, and applicable SEM Center environments. These connections are intended to support aligned metadata, custom scripting, repeatable experiment sequences, and future automation.
Laboratories, JEOL teams, and integration partners with specific workflow requirements can work with Hummingbird to help define and develop these connections.
PyJEM is JEOL’s Python-based TEM interface, FEMTUS is used within JEOL TEM acquisition and development environments, and SEM Center is used on selected JEOL SEM and FIB-SEM systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many of our platform technologies use cross-compatible tips or chips, but the full TEM or SEM sample holders are very different form factors and are not cross-compatible. Please check the specific product page for your model, or contact us—if a specific holder needs a port-adapter for a specific SEM chamber, we can often engineer a custom solution.
No, our holders are designed to be "plug-and-play" with standard JEOL hardware. For advanced custom experiments, our team provides guidance on any necessary software integration or minor calibration adjustments. In some cases, additional tables, floor space, or surface space are temporarily needed in the miroscopy lab for peripheral equipment.
We achieve tolerance compliance directly with component drawings shared with us by JEOL. Because we have an in-house, vertically integrated machine shop, every component is machined and inspected in our facility, allowing us to maintain tighter tolerances than mass-manufactured, third-party alternatives.
Yes. Because we operate our own machine shop and microfabrication facility, we specialize in "one-off" or bespoke modifications for experiments that standard catalog holders cannot support.
Yes, Hummingbird Control Software operates Hummingbird Scientific hardware, either standalone or integrated with JEOL's PyJEM™ and automated software ecosystems. Hummingbird supports broader connectivity discussions between holders, microscope platforms, software environments, and laboratory workflows.
Our holders are designed to exceed or match the microscope's specifications for maximum resolution and drift. By minimizing profile and optimizing material selection, we ensure that our holders are optmized for other imaging modes such as EELS, EDS, and transmission techniques in SEM and X-ray systems.
Yes, all of our sample holders are thoroughly tested for safe operation the TEM and SEM. We even include seal checking vacuum pump stations to ensure that environmental cells are properly sealed prior to insertion.
We provide direct, scientist-to-scientist support. Because we manufacture the hardware, you talk to the person who knows the design, not a third-party reseller. This includes remote troubleshooting and application advice.
Yes. We partner with many global JEOL distribution entities. We recommend contacting your local JEOL sales representative to ask about Hummingbird Scientific sample holders, or contact us directly to coordinate with your vendor.
