FAU researchers answer key question on the microstructure of butterfly wings using electron tomography
FAU researchers have succeeded in pinpointing the three-dimensional structure of microscopic photonic crystals in butterfly wings. These findings will help researchers to understand the formation of periodic structures which affect the colouration of many butterflies. In the future, these findings could be pivotal in designing new optical materials. The research findings which originated from a […]FAU researchers have succeeded in pinpointing the three-dimensional structure of microscopic photonic crystals in butterfly wings.

Installation of the new Titan Themis³ 300 TEM
In October 2014 the installation of the new transmission electron microscope (TEM) FEI Titan Themis³ 300 was finished. Now the staff of IMN is able to perform high quality research using this high-end TEM providing high-resolution imaging as well as high performance analytical investigation capabilities. This double Cs-corrected TEM corrects lens aberrations in both the […]
