Imperial Centre for Cryo Microscopy of Materials

Ferrovac supports the Imperial Centre for Cryo Microscopy of Materials by providing Cryo-UHV transfer solutions that seamlessly connect atom probe, TEM, and FIB platforms. Over a dozen peer-reviewed papers from Imperial have used Ferrovac’s cryo-UHV transfer technology in areas such as battery materials, frozen liquids / liquid-solid interfaces, and atom probe tomography of reactive metals and oxides. These publications demonstrate that Ferrovac doesn’t just connect instruments—it protects samples enough to be published in high-impact outlets, advancing both method development and application.
