Microscopie Electronique en Transmission (MET)

Les plate-formes de microscopie électronique en transmission et à balayage effectuent des recherches indépendantes ainsi que des travaux de service pour les académiques et les industriels. Les plate-formes sont certifiées ISO 9001.

La plate-forme  de microscopie électronique en transmission est membre du réseau national de microscopie électronique et sonde atomique (METSA) et ouvert pour les utilisateurs externes des universités, des instituts de recherche et de l’industrie.

Two transmission electron microscopes (JEOL 2100F, Topcon 002B) are in operation with a periphery comprising specimen stages for in-situ electron microscopy and electron tomography as well as a specimen preparation facility. The standard techniques of nanocharacterization are available such as high-resolution imaging, electron diffraction, electron energy-loss spectroscopy, and electron tomography. The expertise is focused on in-situ electron microscopy and electron tomography where the group\’s own research projects are carried out.
