Many thanks for your questions. Sample preparation is an important part of the microscopy experiments.
1. How long does it take to take a photo with an ETEM microscope?
With you sample on a TEM grid, a photo can be taken within half an hour for sample loading and basic equipment check up. Then a single image only takes a few minutes to collect and record.
2. What if it is an aerosol sample?
There is not much difference as long as your sample is on a standard TEM grid.
3. How to prepare an aerosol sample?
Aerosol sample has to be collected in some way, say, on a filter paper. Then the sample can be moved from the filter paper to a TEM grid. You should search literature to find out the best procedure for this.
4. How do you get an aerosol sample into a cell?
I am not quite sure about the "cell" you are talking about. You can send me an email to discuss about details.

What are the dimensions of the container for the aerosol sample?

The standard TEM grid has a size of 3 mm in diameter.
