The instrument can provide a resolution of 50 nm thanks to its advanced modern X-ray optics. Being a dedicated tomography...

The application for funding of the NanoMill® TEM specimen preparation system has been granted recently by DFG. Fischione’s Model 1040 NanoMill® TEM specimen preparation system is an excellent tool for creating high-quality thin specimens needed for advanced transmission electron microscopy imagin...

We celebrate the successful installation of a laster cutter (microPREP) for fast, clean, and efficient preparation of samples for microstructure characterization and failure analysis. It is suitable for preparation of metal, semiconductor, ceramic and compound materials from bulk, and greatly reduce...

Researchers in IMN has recently reported the direct observation of nucleation and propagation of basal plane dislocations in Nb2AlC, a member of MAX phases, using nanomechanical testing inside a transmission electron microscope. MAX Phases (with M an early transition metal, A an A group element a...
