Enclosed Flow Cell Inside the SEM

The SEM Liquid Flow sample holder is the first in-situ liquid-phase SEM platform designed to image micron-scale liquid-phase reactions and transformations. Our patented precision-machined chip loading mechanism operates without screws, facilitating reproducible sample loading, window alignment, and stable imaging. This simplifies training, workflows, and micrograph acquisition, guaranteeing reproducible sample preparation and in-situ SEM methodologies.

Designed for Advanced Microscale Liquid-phase Dynamics Research

Investigate mechanisms underpinning the dynamics of particle self-assembly, biomineralization and dissolution, corrosion, nanoparticle-MOF structures, temperature-dependent reactions and thin film electrochemistry in liquid environments.

Understand Mechanisms Behind Liquid-Phase Transformations

The transformations that occur at liquid-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces are often microscale and highly transient, but nanostructure design is highly dependent on the mechanisms that drive these transformations. The SEM Liquid Flow sample holder applies stimuli such as temperature, electrical bias, and liquid mixing to uncover reaction pathways, structural transformations, and degradation mechanisms to develop and characterize the next generation of functional nanostructures.
