Cryo BiasingHow It Works

The Cryo Biasing TEM Holder cools the sample using liquid nitrogen stored in the dewar and can control sample temperature with closed-loop control. The intuitive software combines both the temperature control system and MEMS chip-based electrical biasing signals to allow the user to manage all aspects of the experiment in a single interface.

The sample chip can be easily loaded via a Direct Chip Insertion connector with 9 electrical contacts. The sample is prepared directly on one of the many sample substrate chip configurations we offer as standard from stock. Pre-patterned metal leads connect to electron transparent membranes or holes in the substrate to electrically bias the sample. We also offer dedicated chips to streamline FIB sample preparation. Holder consumables are available for customers in our webstore.
