We have recently developed a liquid cell for the transmission electron microscope in which a thin liquid layer (<100nm) is trapped between two monolayers of graphene.  We are investigating the growth and assembly of colloidal nanocrystals in these ultra-thin liquid films using the TEM.  We also recently have been studying nanocrystal dissolution as a means of distinguishing the differential stability of various nanocrystal facets.
