Wildfire in situ TEM heating series

From DENSsolutions

The Wildfire in situ TEM heating series enables thermal studies to be performed in a controlled and stable environment within your TEM. Catering for a variety of application spaces, the Wildfire in situ heating range transforms your high-end TEM from a static imaging tool to a multi-functional laboratory.

Features

Single tilt / double tilt / tomography versions available
Unrivalled stability (drift: 0,3 nm/min)
Contamination free imaging, compatible with EDX and EELS
Room temperature to 1300 °C
Suitable for Thermo Fisher and JEOL TEM

Further information

All DENSsolutions systems use patented and brandnew designed Nano-chip MEMS technology

Nano-Chips are state-of-the-art functional sample carriers that replace traditional TEM Cu grids. Based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), they offer the unique ability to expand your application space and control the environment and stimuli locally on the Nano-Chip. Each Nano-Chip creates a micro-scale laboratory environment within your TEM. Due to its very low mass and minimal power consumption, the response times are extremely fast and performance is highly reliable.

null

The new generation Nano-Chips push in-situ TEM to a new level. Negligible bulging up to 750 °C, almost no sample movement and the possibility to gain EDX results at 1000 °C - The new stability enables researchers and scientist to focus on their experiment!

Unique MEMS design for optimal stability

Nano-Chips are fabricated to ensure a stable, chemically inert and electrically insulated environment.

Heat at the source

Localizing the heating to the same scale dimensions of your sample, ensures the greatest control, offers homogeneous temperature and maximizes the temperature reliability.

Controllable response

The software “Impulse” by DENSsolutions is easy-to-use and offers four odifferent perational modes, custom profiling, real time temperature output and complete data logging.

Reliable output

Robust localized closed-loop temperature feedback offers the ultimate in sample stability, temperature response time & accuracy.

Long life-time

> 90 hours at elevated temperatures without affecting your TEM performance.

Application specific fabrication

A range of Nano-Chip support film options to suit all application requirements.
