Description

The Atmosphere TEM Environmental gas cell converts nearly any TEM into a fully featured ETEM (Environmental TEM). The system creates an in situ reaction chamber inside the microscope; This enables atomic resolution at temperatures up to 1000 °C and pressures up to one atmosphere or 760 Torr. Atmosphere is a fully automated system controlled by the powerful Clarity™ software suite which makes temperature and pressure control easy and safe. The software offers both static and flowing modes so it can control dynamic environments with changing temperatures and pressures in either flowing or static gas conditions. The system is easy to use, yet powerful and flexible enough to support applications ranging from heterogeneous catalysis reactions to in situ nanomaterial synthesis and growth. Atmosphere is also safe to use in your TEM. It is the only gas cell system tested and approved by FEI and JEOL for use on their entire line of transmission electron microscopes. With both closed-loop temperature control and computer-controlled gas handling, it delivers results you can trust.

The Atmosphere Key Features

  • Image under realistic conditions with temperatures up to 1000 °C and pressures up to 1 atm
  • Closed-loop temperature control for accurate temperatures even in changing pressure and gas composition
  • Clarity software provides automated gas handling and safety features
