Abstract

The present disclosure relates to in situ transmission electron microscope (TEM) holders with improved stability and electrical sensitivity. The holders feature a front bearing seal and a rear bearing seal which allow the holders to achieve high sensitivity, high stability, large range of motion and high vacuum isolation. The bearings use a PEEK insulating disk as a pivot point for translation and tilting motion, and use O-rings to dampen vibrations, provide electrical and vacuum insulation, and to set a grabbing force between the bearing and the probe.
