Stanford University researchers have developed a custom specimen holder to couple light into and out of their environmental TEM, and study individual catalysts with nanometre resolution.
Despite heavy scepticism from the microscopy community, Professor Jennifer Dionne and colleagues are combining light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, to study single nanoparticles undergoing a light-activated reaction.
They have already observed a photochemical reaction sweeping across a palladium nanoparticle.
