Liquid, electrochemistry, gas, heating, and biasing systems for compatible ZEISS SEM and FIB-SEM workflows.
Hummingbird Scientific supports compatible ZEISS scanning electron microscopes and Crossbeam FIB-SEM systems with in situ liquid flow, bulk liquid electrochemistry, gas and heating, MEMS heating and biasing, and custom chamber-integration solutions. Hummingbird offers corresponding SEM platforms for liquid, electrochemistry, gas and heating, and MEMS heating and biasing experiments.
Hummingbird can support selected ZEISS GeminiSEM, Sigma, EVO, and Crossbeam configurations through standard products or custom chamber integration. Product fit depends on the chamber geometry, stage and detector clearances, available ports, vacuum interfaces, laboratory utilities, and intended experiment. ZEISS currently identifies GeminiSEM, Sigma, and EVO as SEM families and Crossbeam as its FIB-SEM family.

Why Hummingbird for ZEISS microscopes?
In situ experiments in ZEISS SEM and FIB-SEM systems require the specimen environment and supporting hardware to work within the available chamber space, analytical geometry, vacuum system, and laboratory infrastructure. Hummingbird develops the complete experimental system around those requirements.
- Focused SEM and FIB-SEM systems: Hummingbird supports liquid, electrochemistry, gas, heating, electrical biasing, and custom experimental environments for compatible ZEISS configurations.
- Built around the chamber: Chamber geometry, stage movement, detector clearances, vacuum interfaces, ports, utilities, controllers, and sample handling are considered together.
- Developed in-house: Mechanical and electrical design, precision machining, microfabrication, assembly, controls, calibration, and microscopy testing remain connected.
- Complete system integration: Hummingbird can address the environmental cell, specimen interface, chips, tubing or cabling, controllers, pumps or gas delivery, feedthroughs, leak checking, and required safety hardware as one project.
Cross-platform and custom engineering
Selected Hummingbird liquid-cell systems support related TEM, SEM, X-ray, and optical configurations. Dedicated holders can use the same removable liquid-cell tip, allowing laboratories to study the same sample environment with complementary imaging and spectroscopy methods.
For ZEISS platforms, Hummingbird can evaluate chamber mounts, feedthroughs, specimen carriers, tubing and cable routing, environmental cells, controllers, gas or liquid delivery hardware, and application-specific safety components when a standard configuration is not sufficient.
Custom development is based on the specific ZEISS model, chamber and stage geometry, installed detectors and accessories, experimental conditions, and required workflow.
