In-situ Electron Microscopy: A Practical Tutorial

Advances in imaging and diffraction techniques, sample preparation methods and new holder developments have created substantial recent interest in dynamic electron microscopy. This tutorial will present a general overview of the various categories of in-situ electron microscopy studies, with an emphasis on the classes of materials science problems that can be solved with each approach. It is hoped that participants will walk away with an understanding of how powerful this technique can be, given proper care with respect to experimentation. Considerable emphasis will be placed on ways that the technique can be utilized to determine quantitative information about the physical processes involved, as opposed to merely qualitative descriptions.
