Transmission electron microscope (TEM) cooling holders are used in applications that require low-temperature observation of in-situ phase transitions and to reduce contamination due to carbon migration.
- Reduce unwanted thermal effects in various analytical techniques and facilitate energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) analysis by reducing contamination and mass loss
- When configured for EDS applications, the holder tip is designed to provide a clear path between the sample and the detector to reduce shadowing for EDS analysis
