FAQ

Real‑time, high‑resolution imaging of dynamic liquid processes directly inside your TEM.

Hummingbird Scientific’s Liquid flow holder allows scientists to image samples in flowing (one or two inlets) or static liquids, up to atomic resolution. It also enables in-situ liquid-electrochemistry and sample heating inside the TEM. This system is a complete, all-in-one liquid environment solution, opening up exciting new avenues for materials characterization.
