TEM /Transmission Electron Microscopy

EM and Scanning TEM (STEM) utilizes a high-energy electron beam that is transmitted through a very thin sample. In TEM, the beam is stationary while in STEM, a fine focused electron beam is scanned across the sample. The transmitted electrons are used to form images of the sample allowing morphology’s studies at the nanoscale. For crystalline samples, diffraction phenomena are exploited to obtain information about the sample’s crystallography. High-Resolution TEM & STEM (HRTEM & HRSTEM) provide images with atomic resolution (0.1-0.2 nm). These techniques are used to provide information about the arrangement of atoms on interfaces, surfaces and crystalline defects. Elemental analysis can be performed by Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy through analysis of the X-rays emitted by the sample. In addition, using Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy & Energy Filtered TEM (EELS & EFTEM) chemical analysis and mapping can be extended to light atoms (down to Li) while chemical bonding and valency of atoms can be studied.

The facility includes 6 microscopes ranging from conventional TEM to HRTEM (0.19nm resolution) and HRSTEM (0.14nm resolution) including analytical TEM incorporating EDS and EELS/EFTEM.
