The invention describes the method of the patterning of hydrogels in liquid (native) sate through electron (x-ray) transparent membranes. Such a membrane is molecularly impermeable (or partially permeable) separates the electron and x-ray optics from the high pressure ambient of the sample. Strong
In our invention, the electron or X-ray beam penetrates the liquid from the vacuum after passing through the ultra-thin separating membrane and crosslinks the polymer molecules in the liquid solution within the interaction volume. Additive layer-by-layer fabrication can be achieved via
