Summary

Modern Scanning Electron Microscopes, when combined with Focused Ion Beams (Dual beam FIB-SEM), provide a larger number of multimodal imaging and analysis/characterisation modes at the nano- and micron-scales. The aim of the course is to present the extended analytical possibilities of such device.

Content

Note

This course is open to participants with a basic background in materials science, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, micro-technology or physics, from both industry and academia.
