Summary
Handling air-sensitive materials for electron microscopy can be difficult because exposure to air may alter or damage samples. This project addresses that challenge by developing a sealed transfer method that protects materials during handling and movement. The system maintains a controlled environment to preserve sample integrity before imaging. The goal is to enable more accurate analysis of reactive materials and improve reliability in electron microscopy studies.
