After successful completion of the course, students are able to comprehend the materials presented in the lecture and to draw conclusions from them, as well as to actively communicate the contents presented during the lecture.
Principle of transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
Practical work Setup, alignment :
- illuminating system
- objective lens
- lens aberrations Applications
- bright field (MAG, SAMAG)
- dark field
- electron diffraction
- taking images(CCD, plate camera) microanalysis in the TEM
- Energy Loss Spectrometry (EELS)
- Energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDS)
- Image Filter (GIF)
- Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM)
- Bright Field, Dark Field and High Angle Annular Dark Field (DF, BF, HAADF)
Interactive Course
ATTENTION: the course is 4h a day in the same room. Consequently, there is an increased infection risk. Therefore FFP2 mask will be obligatory.
Registration only via the group registration form.
Priority is given to those students who need transmission electron microscopy directly for their research and will use it independently.
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee of a placement.
Therefore, if you are interested, please contact one of the lecturers by 26.9. for further planning.
There will be one block for english speaking students.
Planned dates WS 2022/23:
The TEM work will take place in the TEM laboratory in the Freihaus (8th floor, yellow tower).
Duration: usually 09:00 to 13:00
