Electron Microscopy Characterisation of the Nanoscale

This course provides a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of electron microscopy, specifically focusing on transmission electron microscope (TEM). You will gain a deep understanding of the underlying principles that drive these powerful instruments, and how they are used to advance our understanding of materials science. With a solid theoretical foundation, you will explore into the building blocks and main imaging modes of the transmission electron microscope, including diffraction, imaging with diffraction contrast, atomic resolution images, and spectroscopy.

By the end of the course, you will have the knowledge and skills to answer the why and how of using a specific electron microscope technique, as well as the ability to critically evaluate TEM images and data from real-world applications.

This course is a must-take for anyone looking to expand their knowledge in the field of materials science and deepen their understanding of electron microscopes and their practical applications.
