Monochromated Transmission Electron Microscopy

在帝国理工学院伦敦和伦敦纳米技术中心，我们在2006年安装了一台电子显微镜，这在英国是独一无二的，也是世界上仅有的几台之一。该显微镜可通过成像和光谱方法对材料进行表征，其能量和空间分辨率相结合，是世界领先的。使用这种仪器将使纳米技术领域的研究人员能够更好地了解影响其新材料和装置性能和特性的因素。虽然该仪器大量用于LCN的研究项目，但我们认为值得在这个最先进的设施上为其他学术机构的研究人员提供一些时间，以使用该设施调查他们的材料。除了提供访问权限外，我们还将通过技术支持、培训和数据解释来支持这些外部用户。我们正在寻求资金，使我们能够提供这种外部访问。

At Imperial College London and the London Centre for Nanotechnology we installed an electron microscope in 2006 which is unique in the UK and is one of only a few in the world. This microscope allows materials to be characterised by imaging and spectroscopic methods with a combined energy and spatial resolution that is world-leading. Access to such an instrument will allow researchers working in the field of nanotechnology to better understand the factors that influence the performance and characteristics of their new materials and devices. While the instrument is heavily used for research projects in the LCN we feel it would be worthwhile to make some time available on this state-of-the-art facility for researchers in other academic institutions to investigate their materials using this facility. In addition to providing access we will support these external users through technical support, training and data interpretation. We are seeking funds to allow us to provide this external access.
