The FlowVIew Aquarius liquid sample chambers are primarily developed for materials analysis and particle analysis applications. The three component sample chamber is easy to use with specially developed preparation tools and resembles an SEM specimen stub when prepared for use in the SEM. The FlowView Aquarius liquid chambers with M4 threaded sample stubs are directly compatible with Hitachi SEMs and with SEMS using pin stubs by using the supplied pins tub adapter.
For first time users, we advise to purchase the FlowView starter kit and purchase more liquid sample chambers when needed. The unique FlowView Aquarius liquid sample chamber forms a liquid film of 500 nm or 2 um depending on the type of chips used. After dispensing the liquid onto the sample chamber, the FlowView Aquarius cap is mounted and twisted to seal the liquid film into the chamber. Imaging is performed through the silicon nitride window which is ready to use, mounted in the FlowView Aquarius caps. The liquid sample chamber chip and window membrane are made from relatively inert materials (Si and Si3N4) and are compatible with water, solvents, oils, fuels, mild acids and mild alkalis. Application examples are:
- Aquarius chips with 50 nm thickness and 150x150x um window for standard application
- Aquarius chips with 20 nm thickness and 20x20 um window for high resolution application
- Aquarius chips with 30 nm thickness and 250 x 250 um window for large area observations.
The high resolution chips allow for imaging objects smaller than 10nm.The FlowVIew Aquarius liquid sample chambers are primarily developed for materials analysis and particle analysis applications.

For first time users we advise to purchase the FlowView starter kit and purchase more liquid sample chambers when needed. The silicon nitride window is held in a silicon frame. These are both relatively inert materials and are compatible with water, solvents, oils, fuels, mild acids and mild alkalis. Application examples are:
- Nano-particle reserach
- Quality control of solutions and suspensions
- X-ray analysis of nano-particles
- Direct SEM observation of liquid samples w/o drying
- Analysis of particle inclusions in oils, greases, fuels or pastes
