TEM Specimen Holders
Our specimen holders extend the capabilities of the Transmission Electron Microscope. Conduct your experiments in-situ in the TEM.
FIB / SEM Accessories
Our sample stages extend the capabilities of the Scanning Electron Microscope / Focused Ion Beam Microscope. Conduct experiments inside the SEM or prepare your specimen inside the FIB.
TEM Holder Accessories
To get the most out of your TEM holders use Hummingbird Scientific's selected TEM holder accessories.
Birks Award - Microanalysis Society

Hummingbird Scientific will be attending the annual (MRS) Spring Meeting and Exhibit in San Francisco, CA from April 9 - April 13. Come visit us at the Exhibit in booth 221 to learn more about our newest TEM products and talk to our scientists and engineers. [Read More...]Gas Catalysis Workshop
January 11, 2012
Hummingbird Scientific organized a gas-catalysis workshop November 3rd-5th, 2011, at Fernbrook in Olympia, WA. There were 14 attendees, including researchers from Purdue, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and several Hummingbird employees. We hope to hold more workshops of this sort in 2012 to encourage scientific collaboration between Hummingbird Scientific and our customers. [Read More...]First Direct Imaging of Protein Complexes Using in-situ Liquid STEM
Researchers at UC Davis and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory utilized a continuous flow in-situ liquid stage developed by Hummingbird Scientific to capture direct images of individual proteins and macromolecular complexes in a fully hydrated environment without freezing or chemical fixation. They were able to capture images of both static (b, white arrow) and moving (b, white arrowhead) ferritin proteins with a spatial resolution better than 2nm.
