Electron microscopy
GINYS-ICN2-002
The ICN2 Electron Microscopy Unit focuses on the use of electron microscopy techniques for research and applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The main objective of the Unit is to provide scientific-technical support to the ICN2 research lines and to external scientists and private companies, as well as to develop and implement new techniques. The laboratory has active collaborations with other research institutions and is increasingly involved in European networks, such as the NFFA project. It offers researchers and students a wide range of processing services to help them carry out their research activities.
Equipment
The electron microscopy unit provides complete and versatile instrumentation for preparing, visualizing, and analyzing a wide variety of samples using electron microscopy.
Our state-of-the-art electron microscopes, consisting of an environmental SEM (ESEM), an extreme resolution SEM and a high resolution (S) TEM, are capable of obtaining high-resolution morphological, structural and elementary information. of the samples.
In addition, the Unit has the necessary set of tools (sputter coater, diamond saws, precision polisher, ion mill, among others) to carry out the proper preparation of the samples before their observation by electron microscopy. .
