In May 2023 the third Advanced School on Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy, AdSTEM3 was organized in Piran. The workshop was targeted at doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and also already experienced microscopists and covered various topics on 4D STEM imaging. The conference included invited lectures by renowned professors. Emphasis was on the implementation and applications of various techniques resulting from sensitive direct electron detectors. 4D STEM, data-evaluation approaches and the choice of the appropriate evaluation software were presented. More information about the conference is available at the link.
In the spirit of spring, we took some spring-harbinger plants under the microscope. Photographs of pollen were taken on Thermo Fisher Quanta 650 ESEM microscope. Images taken at lower magnifications are post-processed/colored with Adobe Photoshop.
In December we hosted an expert on SEM Quanta 650 from Thermo Fisher at CEMM.
The following microscope operations were covered:
And advanced methods:
A great leap forward for all.
A little more and the Center for Electron Microscopy and Microanalysis will get new equipment in the field of transmission electron microscopy.
