At current, the cell developed is not airtight, and thus requires operation under inert conditions. Thus, for its use together with FIB materials, the entire device should be placed inside an argon-filled glovebox for operation under inert atmosphere to avoid possible material degradations which can be induced by the presence of humidity and/or oxygen. For this, the cables for the potentiostat, heating mantle, thermocouple and force transducer are routed in with a feed-through.
