Laser heating
Bring controlled optical heating into TEM experiments where thermal response and local structure need to be studied together.
TEM optical accessory
Vesta for TEM
Add light or local laser heating to selected TEM studies, including photothermal response, sample stimulation, and photon-stimulated EELS/EEGS examples.
Accessory overview
Bring optical heating and excitation into selected TEM experiments.
Vesta for TEM adds optical excitation, local laser heating, optical access, and Aether control to TEM studies where the instrument geometry supports it. Publication-backed examples include photothermal TEM, photon-stimulated EELS/EEGS, laser-enabled synthesis, and sample stimulation.
Waviks reviews the microscope, holder strategy, optical path, sample environment, and experiment goals before recommending a Vesta TEM approach.
