Plastic bag method for active sample loading into transmission electron microscope.
A plastic bag method was developed to observe air-sensitive samples on microstructure and phase distribution without exposure to air during the holder transfer process into the transmission electron microscope (TEM). As an example, a type of lithium aluminum hydride (Li(3)AlH(6)) was observed in the TEM to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method. Results show that the plastic bag method is...
متن کاملIsotope analysis in the transmission electron microscope
The Ångström-sized probe of the scanning transmission electron microscope can visualize and collect spectra from single atoms. This can unambiguously resolve the chemical structure of materials, but not their isotopic composition. Here we differentiate between two isotopes of the same element by quantifying how likely the energetic imaging electrons are to eject atoms. First, we measure the dis...
متن کاملElectron microscopy’s multi-tool: the Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope
A dedicated Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope is ideally coupled with the energy dispersive x-ray and electron energy loss spectroscopies to obtain information about the chemical composition, morphology and electronic structure on the nanoscale. With several signals being available simultaneously with the pass of a subnanometre-sized beam, this instrument can answer questions from a bro...
متن کاملThe Irish Plastic Bag
“It was sad to see the empty bag Blown about like a dirty rag” A Summer Morning Walk By Patrick Kavanagh (1904-1967) Introduction: In March 2002, the Irish Government introduced a 15 Euro cent environmental levy on all shopping plastic bags, previously provided free of charge to consumers at points of sale. The motivation for such was primarily to reduce the consumption of plastic bags and the ...
متن کاملChoice of operating voltage for a transmission electron microscope.
An accelerating voltage of 100-300kV remains a good choice for the majority of TEM or STEM specimens, avoiding the expense of high-voltage microscopy but providing the possibility of atomic resolution even in the absence of lens-aberration correction. For specimens thicker than a few tens of nm, the image intensity and scattering contrast are likely to be higher than at lower voltage, as is the...
