I can customize the TEM sample holder for you,
so that you should be able to observe your sample using TEM.

MoS2-MoS2 probes were brought into contact, and then we observed the actual contact area at the nanoscale.
We found that the covalent bonds near the edge of MoS2 plays the significant role to transfer the 2D materials.

We scratched DLC probes on a flat diamond surface, and related the volume loss to the change in Sp2, Sp3 structure.
We obtained the specific true stress that begins wear at the nanoscale.

We fabricated the hollow AFM probes using ALD and Xe gas for ultrafast AFM images.
Our TEM technique succeeded in observing shape of the hollow AFM probes at the nanoscale.

We integrated an electrostatic actuator that achieves an ultraslow actuation (=0.1 nm/s).
We first found a superplasticity in the elongation of a silicon nanowire.

We integrated a heater and a thermal sensor on the MEMS device.
That enables to measure the heat transfer in a silicon nanowire in TEM.
We found a ballistic heat transfer in the silicon nanowire.

I'm convinced my technique will be the ultimate method for clarifying the atomic-level mechanisms through which one form of energy is converted into another.
