A new environmental high-voltage transmission electron microscope (E-HVEM) was developed by Nagoya University in collaboration with JEOL Ltd. An open-type environmental cell was employed to enable in-situ observations of chemical reactions on catalyst particles as well as mechanical deformation in gaseous conditions. One of the reasons for success was the application of high-voltage transmission electron microscopy to environmental (in-situ) observations in the gas atmosphere because of high transmission of electrons through gas layers and thick samples. Knock-on damages to samples by high-energy electrons were carefully considered. In this paper, we describe the detailed design of the E-HVEM, recent developments and various applications. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Dynamic in situ microscopy relating structure and function'.

Lunar dunite 72417 is a brecciated dunite thought to be an original cumulate from the primary lunar differentiation and crustal formation. The complex olivine deformation structures and fine matrix material have been studied by high voltage transmission electron microscopy to augment geochemical and petrographic studies of other researchers. Our specimen, 72417,9009 is predominantly olivine "clasts" of variable size, set in a "matrix," also of olivine. The clasts and matrix of this breccia are essentially distinguishable only by size. Minor orthopyroxene, plagioclase and metal are also present. The angular "clasts" (largest is 0.3 mm) contain planar boundaries with misorientations of a few degrees (unlike boundaries in olivine tectonites). The finer-grained matrix has a few percent porosity and shows no optical evidence of recrystallization.Substructures in Large Clasts. Several large clasts were examined and show a variable subgrain structure (Fig. la); smaller subgrains tend to be equiaxed and μlpm in size, while the larger subgrains are elongate and up to lOum long.
