Vesta Heating in TEM

Waviks Vesta for TEM: local laser heating, optical excitation and photon-stimulated EELS/EEGS in selected TEM experiments, controlled with Aether software.

Key features

Laser heating
Controlled optical heating to study thermal response together with local structure.
Optical excitation
Photon excitation where the microscope geometry, holder and optical access allow.
Stimulated EELS and EEGS
Photon-stimulated electron energy gain and loss spectroscopy.
Materials studies
Phase evolution, defects, recrystallisation and dewetting under controlled heating.
Aether software
Hardware profiles, optical alignment, laser control and motion in one environment.
Reviewed per microscope
Waviks checks the TEM, holder, optical path and experiment before recommending a set-up.
