Electron Microscopy Facility

Body

The Texas Materials Institute Electron Microscopy Facility provides user access to the University of Texas at Austin community for state-of-the-art atomic scale characterization. Established in 2020, this new facility hosts advanced instruments for the analysis of materials and their preparation. This includes a low-voltage aberration corrected JEOL neoARM TEM that can operate from 30 – 200 kV, equipped with EDX and EELS, a Thermo Fisher Scios FIB:SEM, and several SEMs. Located in the ground floor (level 0) of the Engineering Education and Research (EER) Building. The facility consists of a suite of specially designed low-vibration rooms with precise temperature and humidity control. Operation of TEM is done remotely in a separate room to remove the impact of people on the room stability. An array of specialized holders and detectors are available for state of the art in-situ capabilities and imaging.

Services Offered

  • High-resolution electron microscopy (SEM, TEM)
  • Sample preparation for imaging and analysis
  • Elemental and structural analysis
  • Advanced imaging for biological and material sciences
  • Training in electron microscopy techniques
  • Consultation on microscopy experiment design and data interpretation
Brief Description
Electron microscopy imaging, Sample preparation, Analytical services, Training and support
