Acquisition of the Specimen Preparation Equipment for Transmission Electron Microscopy for Research and Education

0076512 johnson该奖项是为了获得一种现代化的样品制备设备，以最小的损伤制备用于透射电子显微镜（TEM）的复杂材料样品。该设备将提供新的机会，并提高加州理工学院TEM设备的现有能力，该设备是在美国国家科学基金会的支持下获得的。新的样品制备设备将允许可靠和受控的样品制备，并减少样品污染在电子显微镜。它将有助于研究大块金属玻璃变形的微观机制，复合材料的界面现象和各种材料的其他基本特性。该设备将广泛应用于目前的材料研究以及未来十年加州理工学院的材料研究。***该奖项是为了获得一种现代化的样品制备设备，以最小的损伤制备用于透射电子显微镜（TEM）的复杂材料样品。该设备将提供新的机会，并提高加州理工学院TEM设备的现有能力，该设备是在美国国家科学基金会的支持下获得的。新的样品制备设备将允许可靠和受控的样品制备，并减少样品污染在电子显微镜。它将有助于研究大块金属玻璃变形的微观机制，复合材料的界面现象和各种材料的其他基本特性。该设备将广泛应用于目前的材料研究，并将在未来十年用于加州理工学院的材料研究

0076512JohnsonThis an award is for the acquisition of a modern sample preparation equipment to prepare with minimum damage specimens of complex materials for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The equipment will provide new opportunities and advance the current capability of the TEM facility at Caltech acquired earlier with NSF support. The new sample preparation equipment will allow reliable and controlled specimen preparation, and the reduction of specimen contamination in the electron microscope. It will facilitate investigations of micromechanisms of deformation in bulk metallic glasses, interfacial phenomena in composites and other fundamental properties of a wide range of materials. The equipment will see heavy use for a broad range of materials investigations currently and for materials research at Caltech over the next decade. ***This an award is for the acquisition of a modern sample preparation equipment to prepare with minimum damage specimens of complex materials for transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
