Successful cryogenic analysis requires more than keeping a specimen cold. Sample transfer, electron dose, ice contamination, and acquisition conditions must all be carefully controlled to preserve material integrity and produce reliable data.
Controlling these factors is particularly important for scientists working with polymers, organic materials, nanoparticles, nanowires, zeolites, MOFs and COFs, perovskites, biomaterials, and other beam-sensitive samples.
In this on-demand webinar, you will explore the cryo workflow on Tescan TENSOR™, from holder cooling and sample loading to low-dose navigation and multimodal data acquisition. Learn how near-UHV column conditions and software-guided low-dose procedures help limit ice contamination and unnecessary beam exposure. Application examples demonstrate how imaging, compositional, and diffraction data can be acquired on a single integrated platform, providing complementary insights into beam-sensitive materials.
Why This Matters
For beam-sensitive materials, cryogenic conditions can help preserve structural and chemical information that might otherwise be altered during analysis. However, this protection must be maintained throughout the complete workflow, from sample loading and transfer to navigation and data acquisition.
Tescan TENSOR™ addresses these challenges through software-guided low-dose procedures, near-UHV column conditions, and a streamlined cryo-holder workflow. Together, these capabilities help preserve sample integrity, limit unnecessary beam exposure and ice growth while supporting stable, long-duration analytical experiments.
