Acquisition of an Atomic Resolution Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope

伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校将获得一台具有高分辨率z对比成像能力的扫描透射电子显微镜（STEM）。该仪器的用户涵盖了芝加哥大学以及芝加哥地区其他学术机构和工业实验室的物理和生命科学领域的一系列学科。该仪器将支持各种材料系统的研究，包括超导体、半导体、陶瓷、金属、聚合物、高温材料和生物材料。原子分辨率显微镜采用了近几年发展起来的技术。这将是芝加哥地区独一无二的研究设施，也是全国为数不多的同类设施之一。＊＊＊

9601792 Browning A scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) with high resolution Z-contrast imaging capabilities will be acquired by the University of Illinois at Chicago. Users of the instrument span a range of disciplines in both the physical and life sciences at the university and at other academic institutions and industrial laboratories in the Chicago area. The instrument will support research in a variety of material systems including superconductors, semiconductors, ceramics, metals, polymers, high- temperature materials, and biomaterials. %%% The atomic resolution microscope incorporates technology developed in the last few years. This will be a unique research facility in the Chicago area and one of a few comparable facilities in the country. ***
