What are WETSEM® Technology and QX-202C capsules?
WETSEM® Technology is a novel, breakthrough technology enabling the imaging of fully wet samples in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The technology provides an opportunity to study samples in the SEM, which are isolated from the SEM’s vacuum chamber in terms of pressure and humidity. The QX-202C capsule is a product based on WETSEM® Technology which is designed specifically for the imaging of dynamic hydration processes such as the curing of cementitious systems. The QX-202C capsule enables the user to follow, in-situ, the dynamics of a reaction, by creating a sequence of SEM images which reflects the structural development of the sample.
