Evactron® TEM Wand™
In-situ plasma cleaning for TEM & STEM side-entry holders.
The Evactron® TEM Wand™ brings gentle downstream plasma cleaning right to the polepiece — clearing hydrocarbon contamination inside the TEM column, with no liquid-nitrogen cold trap and no damage to sensitive components.
HOW IT WORKS
Cleaning right where contamination forms
The Wand reaches into the column and delivers oxygen plasma radicals to the objective-lens polepiece — the region where beam-induced hydrocarbon contamination collects. Press play to see it work.
How it works
THE EVIDENCE
Contamination Removed. Imaging Restored.
KEY FEATURES
Why labs choose the TEM Wand
Purpose-built for the S/TEM columns enabling peak imaging and analytical performance.
Fits Standard Side-Entry Goniometers
Built to standard TEM/STEM side-entry goniometer dimensions – inserts like any specimen holder.
POP Ignition at vacuum
POP Ignition strikes the plasma reliably every time without venting the column.
Air-fed oxygen radicals
Uses ambient air to generate reactive oxygen plasma radicals — no special process-gas supply needed.
Damage-free polepiece cleaning
Safely de-contaminates the polepiece area without damaging sensitive components.
No spot or scan artifacts
Eliminates spot-mode and scanning-mode contamination artifacts from your images and analysis.
No LN₂ cold trap
Removes the need for a liquid-nitrogen cold trap — a simpler workflow with less upkeep.
