Electron Beam Artifacts in Liquid-Cell Electron Microscopy

TL;DR

This paper investigates how electron beams induce bubble formation in liquid-cell electron microscopy, aiming to understand the interactions between the electron beam and liquids through visualization of bubble nucleation and growth.

Contribution

It provides insights into beam-induced bubble formation in liquid-cell electron microscopy, highlighting the dynamics of bubble nucleation and growth under electron irradiation.

Findings

Beam-induced bubbles can nucleate and grow during imaging.

Bubble formation is influenced by electron beam parameters.

Abstract

Bubbles may form when imaging liquids with in situ liquid-cell electron microscopy. Fluid dynamics videos show beam-induced bubble nucleation and growth. By examining the bubble formation and growth process, we hope to gain a better understanding of interactions between the electron beam and liquids.
