Supporting Developments

Using state-of-the-art electron microscopy critically depends on reliable sample preparation, a good understanding of electron beam – matter interactions and research data management to make proper use of the information obtained.

Electron Beam - Matter Interaction

Assessing the effects of the electron beam - matter interaction is important for structural characterization, but even more critical for functional analysis and in in situ/operando microscopy for a meaningful analysis in SEM, FIB and TEM.

Sample Preparation & Handling

We develop improved handling and preparation methods—especially for air-sensitive and FIB-made samples—to keep TEM specimens as close as possible to their native state.
