Electron Microscopy of Advanced Materials

圣安德鲁斯大学的电子显微镜实验室成立于1999年，配备了JEOL JEM-2011透射电子显微镜（TEM）和JEOL JSM-5600扫描电子显微镜（SEM），并配备了主要配件，包括MacTempas图像模拟系统，Gatan 656凹坑磨床，Gatan 691精密离子抛光系统和设备齐全的暗室。TEM和SEM都有一台牛津仪器的能量色散x射线光谱仪。TEM图像通常由Gatan CCD摄像机记录，并可通过大学网络传输到用户自己的计算机上。该实验室将向英国学术机构和工业界的外部用户开放，以优化设备的使用，并加强不同大学研究人员之间的合作。每台显微镜每周有一天将保留给外部用户使用，该服务的可用性将在学校网站上进行宣传。材料研究项目的服务和安排过程将由一个咨询委员会监督，该委员会由负责研究的副校长Alan Miller教授领导，其他成员来自几所大学。可根据需要开设电子显微镜讲座课程和一对一培训课程。

The electron microscopy laboratory at University of St Andrews, equipped with a JEOL JEM-2011 transmission electron microscope (TEM) and a JEOL JSM-5600 scanning electron microscope (SEM), was established in 1999 and has been furnished with major accessories including a MacTempas Image Simulation System, a Gatan 656 Dimple Grinder, a Gatan 691 Precision Ion Polishing System and a fully equipped darkroom. Both TEM and SEM have an Oxford Instruments energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer. TEM images are normally recorded with a Gatan CCD camera and can be transferred to user's own computer through the university network. This laboratory will open for external users of UK academic institutions and industry in order to optimise the use of the equipment and to enhance the collaboration between researchers in different universities.One day per week for each microscope will be reserved for external users and the availability of the service will be marketed on the school website. The process of the service and arrangement of materials research projects will be monitored by an Advisory Committee led by the Vice Principal for Research, Professor Alan Miller with other members from several universities. Lecture course on electron microscopy and one-to-one training course can be offered under requirement.
