Sol For Atmosphere AX Introduction
Builds on the capabilities of Atmosphere AX: Supports the full capabilities of Atmosphere AX, like temperature control, gas pressure, compatibility, and mixing, enabling truly representative reaction environments.
Well-characterised photoillumination workflow: Holder and ex situ calibration workflow optimised to quantify light power at the sample and maintain temperature accuracy, even during illumination.
Flexible light integration: User-exchangeable light source input allows use of various wavelengths, making Sol adaptable to diverse experimental needs. The holder is compatible with most Thermo Fisher and JEOL TEM platforms.
Seamless software integration: Photoillumination metadata is synchronized with experimental timelines using Protochips AXON machine vision software, reducing manual tasks and allowing you to focus on your research.
Sample Support: Sol E-chips
Sol for Atmosphere AX offers specialised E-chips for both in situ photo-illumination experiments and ex situ power density characterisation. Sol E-chips have been optimised to ensure maximum power density at the sample location, providing flexibility to study many different types of light-sensitive reactions.
Sol experiment E-chips are used for in situ TEM studies and feature dimensions optimised to minimise shadowing at the sample while maintaining the environmental capabilities of the Atmosphere platform.
Sol calibration E-chips are dedicated to the ex situ power density characterisation workflow and consist of a window-only E-chip paired with a membrane-free, aluminium-coated aperture E-chip. When used with the holder in the ex situ power characterisation station, these calibration components account for optical losses through the silicon nitride window and enable accurate measurement of the power density experienced by the sample.
