Essential Techniques for Todays Scanning-Transmission Electron Microscopist

May 15, 2024| Zoom Webinar

Essential Techniques for Today’s Scanning/Transmission Electron Microscopist Scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) is arguably the most powerful materials characterization technique in existence, capable of providing micro- to pico-scale structural, morphological, electromagnetic, and chemical information. Additionally, continual advances in S/TEM-related instrumentation, technology, and software coupled with the now ubiquitous presence and availability of CS-corrected instruments now facilitates routine collection of the highest-quality S/TEM data.
