Electron microscopy suite

Our electron microscopy can provide the following:

  • chemical and structural information from nanometre or sub-nanometre resolutions
  • a variety of solid materials can be analysed including metals and alloys, semiconductors, minerals, catalysts, nanotubes and nanoparticles
  • electron microscopy allows the performance of visual studies at a sub-cellular level in biological sample

At the OU we have one scanning electron microscope (SEM) and three transmission electron microscopes (TEM) equipped with specialised peripherals to carry out a variety of measurements.
