Atomic scale imaging with high coherence electrons and ions

本计画旨在将冷原子电子-离子源与商用显微镜柱结合联合收割机，用于生物科学与材料科学的原子尺度成像。电子和离子显微镜的纳米级成像是在原子尺度上研究世界的工具，支持从半导体设备到医疗的现代技术的发展。该项目将利用激光冷却原子和原子光学的想法，实现纳米尺度基本过程的延时成像的新成像模式。它将允许在纳米尺度上对基本过程进行越来越小尺度的分辨率。

This project aims to combine a cold atom electron-ion source with a commercial microscope column for atomic-scale imaging in biosciences and materials science. Nanoscale imaging with electron and ion microscopy are tools for investigating the world at the atomic scale, underpinning development in modern technologies from semiconductor devices to medical treatments. This project will use ideas from laser cooling of atoms and atom optics to achieve new imaging modalities for time-lapse imaging of fundamental processes at the nano-scale. It will allow increasingly small scale resolution of fundamental processes at the nano-scale.
