Protochips Fusion AX in situ Heating and Electrical Characterisation System

Fusion AX is an in situ heating and electrical characterisation system for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It enables researchers to observe their materials under realistic, functional conditions while taking advantage of the resolving power of the TEM. With full control over temperatures and ramp rates, voltage, and current, it allows for direct visualisation of processes like phase transitions, growth and sintering, crystallisation, defect behavior, grain boundary transformations, and so much more. These observations offer new information to drive innovation in materials science, semiconductors and other electronic devices, quantum materials, catalysts and batteries.

• Room temperature up to 1200°C
• Friction-free double tilting
• Electrical resolution down to single picoamps
• Unmatched temperature uniformity
• Combined temperature and electrical experiments
• Live physical drift mitigation, dose analysis, and offline data analysis

Flexible in situ environments: A wide range heating and electrical MEMS devices offers flexibility for any sample type

Machine vision software suite: Integrated machine vision software manages many data collection tasks in the background so you can focus on the experiment at hand

Front-to-back workflow: Each step of the research process, from sample preparation to data management and analysis, has been considered to maximise rigor and reproducibility

Safety: Safety of the TEM is top priority - none of our systems require disassembly that would put the TEM at risk to enable different imaging techniques or perform maintenance
