We successfully coupled a laser-driven molecular beam with a table-top femtosecond electron gun and a pulsed bright-field optical microscope to image laser produced gas-phase and liquid-phase samples by pulsed electrons and photons.

With varying the ablation laser fluence or the time delay, we can deliver either gas-phase or liquid-phase samples to the electron/light pulse interaction point. Our methodology provides time separable nanoscale liquid phase and gas-phase sample delivery under identical conditions to enable atomic imaging using electron sources and determination of solvation effects and is promising to extend to large biomolecules under either isolated gas-phase or solvated environment.
