Protochips Atmosphere

TEM Holder Active

Protochips — Atmosphere

MEMS-based in-situ gas-cell TEM holder for real-time observation of gas-phase reactions at elevated temperatures inside the TEM.

Type In-situ Gas Holder
Max Temp 1000 °C
Gas Channels 3 (up to 1 atm)
Tilt Single tilt
E-chip MEMS-based
Capability Heating + Gas flow

Overview

The Protochips Atmosphere holder enables in-situ observation of gas-phase reactions within the TEM column. Using sealed MEMS-based E-chips, it allows controlled gas environments (up to 3 gases at 1 atm) while heating the specimen up to 1000 °C.

Applications

  • Oxidation and reduction processes
  • Catalytic reaction observation
  • CVD / VD growth studies
  • Ostwald ripening under gas atmosphere
