Practical Courses

March 6, 2012

Dear Students, Faculty Members and Researchers,

The Department of Materials Engineering is opening this semester's practical courses for operating the following microscopes:

• E-SEM Quanta 200 - An environmental SEM, enabling characterization of non-conducting materials without a conductive coating, and is equipped with EDS (light element) and WDS.

• Tecnai G² T20 - A new 200KeV (or 120KeV) TEM with a LaB6 electron source and an FEI Supertwin Objective Lens. This microscope is also equipped with BF and DF STEM detectors, an EDS detector, a plate camera, a 1Kx1K multi-scan CCD, and a TV rate CCD.

• Titan 80-300 FEG-S/TEM - A new high resolution FEG S/TEM operating at 80, 200 and 300KeV. This microscope is equipped with a monochromator for sub-eV energy resolution and an objective lens aberration corrector system for sub-A spatial resolution. It is also equipped with a high resolution energy filter (for sub-eV EELS and energy filtered TEM), an EDS detector, a high resolution STEM system (including BD, DF and HAADF detectors), a plate camera, a 2Kx2K slow scan CCD and a TV rate CCD.

Anyone interested in learning how to operate these microscopes is invited to fill and submit the form (see link below).

A meeting to coordinate course times will be held at 11:00 on Thursday, March 15th, 2012 in the microscopy complex (ground floor of the old building of materials engineering).
