Cryo-Focused Ion Beam Facility for soft and hard materials

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The multipurpose Cryo-Focused Ion beam scanning electron microscope (Cryo-FIB) Facility aims to provide revolutionary insights into beam sensitive materials and biological molecules at high magnification. This instrument will be a unique configuration and the most advanced of its kind in Australia. It will be fitted with a gallium ion source, cryo-stage, cryo-lift out and cryo-transfer suite and capable of imaging and compositional analysis in two- and three-dimensions and preparing samples for atomic-scale analyses with complementary cryo-microscopies. This equipment aims to facilitate innovative research in the fields of energy materials, advanced manufacturing, nanomaterials and in situ cell and structural biology.
