Observing dynamic processes with in-situ TEM

Observe Dynamic Processes with In-Situ TEM: Atomic-Scale Crystal Nucleation and Growth Dynamics

Capture dynamic processes during in-situ TEM experiments with the Gatan OneView IS camera, at up to 25 fps with 16 MP images. In this example, researchers at the University of Tokyo observed crystal nucleation and growth at atomic scale.

Analyse Contaminants in Battery Materials with SEM-EDS

Analyse Contaminants in Battery Materials with Combined SEM / EDS

Combined SEM-EDS can be used to locate and identify contamination quickly and easily. The Thermo Scientific Axia ChemiSEM fully integrates the two techniques.

In-Situ EM Video Tutorials

In-Situ EM Data Processing Tutorial Videos (Gatan Microscopy Suite: GMS 3)

A series of video tutorials demonstrating how to use Gatan’s IS player, part of GMS 3 (Gatan Microscopy Suite) software for TEM/SEM.

Identifying defects in polymers

Characterising Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymers and Composite Materials with SEM-EDS

SEM-EDS can be used to characterise the composition of polymer composites. This is useful in failure analysis, to detect and identify contaminants and defects, and to check homogeneity.

UWBG Semiconductor Defects

Analysing Ultra-Wide Bandgap (UWBG) Semiconductors with Cathodoluminescence (CL)

Map defect distribution and variations for process development of materials for electronic / optoelectronic devices. CL is ideal for materials not suitable for photoluminescence spectroscopy.

Metals Failure Analysis

Failure Analysis of Metals with SEM / EDS

How SEM/EDS is used in failure analysis of steel, with examples of bend test failures, coating defects and corrosion in the automotive industry.

Thermo ColourSEM: SEM & EDS Combined

Combined SEM and EDS with Thermo ColourSEM

ColourSEM technology from Thermo Scientific combines SEM and EDS for easy-to-interpret elemental information, displayed live in colour on your SEM images. It’s fully integrated and always on, highlighting features on your sample that may otherwise be unnoticed. Blue Scientific is the official industrial distributor for the Thermo Scientific Axia ChemiSEM in the UK and Ireland. For […]
