Gas splitter and collector with integrated residual gas analyzer (RGA) for in situ nanoscale experiments

The upgrade of the transmission microscope with an RGA analyzer enables researchers to perform in situ analyses of materials under variable atmospheric and temperature conditions. This setup facilitates the investigation of oxidation and reduction processes on surfaces at the nanometer scale, the efficiency of catalytic nanomaterials, and provides insight into phase transformations induced by external factors at the nanometer level. The new equipment allows researchers to overcome the current limitations of research tools by enabling the examination of hydrated samples and exposing them to reducing and oxidizing atmospheres, water vapor, or gas mixtures, all in combination with variable temperature.
