Particle Size and Structure

TEM-Grid Inserts

If you are mainly interested in the properties of your deposited particles and fibres on the micro- and nanoscale, you should consider collecting them directly on our VITROCELL^® TEM Grid Inserts.

The grid with the consequently un-altered particles can then easily be placed in a commercial TEM and be analyzed without any impact on particle size or structure.

VITROCELL^® TEM Grid Inserts are available in 6-well or 12-well format and can be used in every exposition module with these sizes.
