Transmission electron microscopy

This unit is limited to those students whose research project requires transmission electron microscope (TEM) training (see rules section for details).

The transmission electron microscope (TEM) provides the unique ability to characterise materials at the nanometre and atomic length scales. This unit is designed to offer both theoretical and practical training in operating a TEM, for those who need the technique for their research. The emphasis is to arm you with the skills necessary to both effectively operate the instrument and make meaningful conclusions regarding the results generated.
