On Friday September 29th The Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF) and the Quantum Colaboratory held a Lunch and Learn informational event to celebrate the launch of the QNFCF's new JEOL F200 S/TEM. Dr. Sandra Gibson presented the imaging and spectroscopic capabilities of the new S/TEM system alongside some techniques for suitable sample preparation.
During this event QNFCF announced that the new JEOL F200 S/TEM was now available for both service and training access paths. Previously the S/TEM was only available for limited service work on pre-prepared samples.
Furthermore, QNFCF staff (lead by Dr. Greg Holloway) have gained sufficient experience with the Zeiss FIB/SEM to enable TEM lamellae fabrication via this important technique. FIB/SEM work is being performed as a service (no user training available) and is accessible using the FIB Service Request form.
Lab members who are interested in accessing the S/TEM should use the TEM Service Requests form to submit the details of your sample and start a consultation with qualified QNFCF staff members.
