Enabling low-dose and correlative measurements at ePSIC

Diamond Light Source的电子物理科学成像中心（ePSIC）为物理科学界和Diamond的广泛用户群提供了最先进的电子显微镜仪器。虽然ePSIC由Diamond运营，但它不是Diamond核心资金的一部分，拟议的核心设备对保持该设施的竞争力至关重要，扩大能力，并继续鼓励合作和交叉主题，使钻石的共同定位成为可能。这笔赠款将提供一个高能探测器，以提高我们在TEM和4DSTEM成像方面的能力，并提高我们执行低能量成像的能力。剂量成像在束敏感样品的研究。我们在这一领域的目标将进一步得到支持，通过任意扫描发生器提供最先进的低剂量成像（通过额外的资金），并支持先进的样品环境（通过未满足的资金），以实现和鼓励电子和X射线仪器之间的进一步相关研究。此次设备招标将扩大和加强我们在束敏感材料方面的能力和活动，如电池材料、钙钛矿、金属有机框架、药品和沸石，并支持现场和更广泛的Diamond用户社区的项目。

The electron Physical Sciences Imaging Centre (ePSIC) at Diamond Light Source provides access to state-of-the-art electron microscopy instrumentation for the physical science community and the broad user base of Diamond. While ePSIC is housed within and operated by Diamond, it is not part of Diamond's core funding and the proposed core equipment is vital to keep the facility competitive, expand capabilities and continue to encourage collaboration and cross-cutting themes made possible by the co-location at Diamond.This grant would provide a high-energy detector to enhance our capabilities in TEM and 4DSTEM imaging and enhance our ability to perform low-dose imaging in the study of beam-sensitive samples. Our goals in this area would be further supported by the provision of state-of-the-art low-dose imaging through an arbitrary scan generator (via additional funding), and support for an advanced sample environment (via unmet funding) to enable and encourage further correlative studies between electron and X-ray instruments. This equipment bid will broaden and strengthen our capabilities and activities in beam-sensitive materials, such as battery materials, perovskites, metal-organic frameworks, pharmaceuticals, and zeolites, and support both projects on site and in the wider Diamond user community.
