VERONICA POLICHT JOHANNA NELSON, MENTOR OFFICE OF SCIENCE, SULI SLAC NATIONAL ACCELERATOR LABORATORY Researching and Designing a Sample Heater for Beam Line 6-2c

Facilities: Beam Line 6-2c G.J. Nelson, et al., 2011, AIP, vol. 98, p Schematic of the Transmission X-ray Microscope optics

Problem: Why Sample Heater? Biological & chemical events occur at temperatures higher than room temperature (RT)  Human body temperature: 37.0 °C (RT is °C)  In situ conditions for some reactions Material morphology & behavior at elevated temperatures  Material stress and failure Implementing a sample heater for TXM imaging broadens the temperature range a sample can be observed in, making the possible sample conditions more dynamic.

Sample Heaters: Desired Characteristics In terms of heat character:  Controllable  Confined  Measureable  Perform between/up to °C Heater apparatus:  Removable  Size considerations Adaptable to several sample types Ease of ability to manufacture and/or acquire necessary parts  Relatively Low Cost Available space

Example Samples Sealed capillary with catalytic(?) sample within cylindrical Battery cell sample, for imaging is placed between holderplates Relatively flat Holderplates designed by Johanna Nelson for use in imaging battery samples at Beam Line 6-2c
