Abstract

Various methods of carrying out time resolved in situ monitoring of crystallization processes with the scanning force microscope (SFM) were tested and improved. First investigations, taking place in static liquids, were performed in a simple cup sample holder and in the liquid cell supplied by the manufacturers of the SFM. Continuous flow conditions were realized with a new recirculating flow system, which in addition allows temperature control. The different apparative approaches were tested with lab-grown crystals of L-ascorbic acid and lithium fluoride, as well as freshly cleaved fragments of the naturally occurring mineral calcite.
