Abstract: A portable, compact gas delivery system can support an environmental transmission electron microscope. Environment transmission electron microscopy provides researchers a unique capability of assessing a material's surface conditions at atomic resolution in a variety of reactive and oxidizing environments. The ability to precisely control the analysis chamber's environmental conditions over time is key to the success of a typical surface analysis. The gas delivery system provides the correct balance or pressure delivery precision, contamination control, and gas isolation.
