Environmental transmission electron microscopy in a dedicated instrument allows ultimate spatial resolution with chemical analysis capabilities similar to high resolution transmission electron microscopes (HRTEMs), while retaining partial pressures up to 20 mbar around the specimen. Finally, such instruments provide an optimized approach to study the early stages of catalytic reactions, which can start from very low partial pressure, at the atomic-scale.
