M&M 2018 Conference

M&M 2018 logo

Join us at M&M! Booth#605

The 2018 Microscopy and Microanalysis Conference is held at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland from August 5-9 2018.

Hummingbird Scientific will be in booth#605. Make sure to stop by and talk with our scientists and engineers to discuss our new products:

Generation V Liquid-Electrochemical TEM holder

MEMS Heating + Biasing holder

High-temperature Gas Heating holder

We hope to see you there!

Hummingbird Scientific LIVE Demos:
We will offer two live product demos during M&M. Please drop by our booth to reserve your spot.

In-situ TEM biasing and manipulation: possibilities and use aspects – a LIVE demo
Tue, 3:20 pm to 4:30 pm – JEOL Booth #812 (at the TEM)
Wed, 11:00 am to 12:00 noon – JEOL Booth #812 (at the TEM)

During this demo, we will discuss practical aspects of performing  in-situ TEM experiments using our biasing manipulator TEM holder. Ease of use, imaging conditions, and interpreting the acquired data in these types of in-situ experiments will be discussed. This will be an opportunity to see how the hardware works. Note that this demo will be conducted in the JEOL booth #812. About the Biasing-Manipulator holder

Hummingbird Scientific Tutorials:
This year we will offer two free vendor tutorials. Space is limited so make sure to sign up early at the MSA Megabooth – or drop by our booth.

Exploring heating and heating/biasing experiments with in-situ electron microscopy

Tue, August 7th · 5:45pm · Hummingbird Scientific Booth #605

In this tutorial we will present our newest in-situ electron microscopy platforms to perform heating and heating/biasing experiments with MEMS-based chips. We will cover the platforms capabilities and present different examples, such as the crystallization of titanium oxide amorphous thin films and the melting of Au particles (melting temperature: 1064°Celsius). Practical considerations such as sample drift, power consumption, and how samples are prepared will be discussed—the chips where samples are mounted for characterization are contacted to the sample holder via a robust mechanism that guarantees good electrical contacts and easy sample preparation. About this holder

Replicating bulk-level electrochemistry in liquid cell TEM

Wed, August 8th · 5:45pm · Hummingbird Scientific Booth #605

In this tutorial, we will discuss our newer generation of liquid cell TEM electrochemical holder, which allows to acquire bulk-level electrochemistry in TEM in real-time. Specifically, we will talk about the integration of electrochemical cell with an advanced hardware system and optimized electrochemistry chips with a specialized configuration of electrodes to allow true quantitative measurements of electrochemical processes in the TEM. This advanced liquid cell TEM system will enable and impact several areas of research including but not limited to electrochemistry, photocatalysis, and other energy related applications. About this holder
