Discussion Description:
Often imaging of a sample is performed before and after processing to determine what occurred during the processing. New capabilities in the Quattro Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) allow dynamic experiments to understand what happens during an experiment, not just trying to determine what occurred post-mortem. In-situ capabilities are available inside the ESEM to probe samples down to the nano-scale under a variety of environmental conditions ranging in temperature from cryogenic up to 1100 °C, under load, and under high relative humidity.

Join us as we spotlight these new capabilities and focus on ways the ESEM can progress research initiatives.
