State University Organized by John
M. Cowley Center for High Resolution Electron Microscopy, The aim of the school is to introduce the theory and practice of high resolution electron microscopy to scientists currently using transmission electron microscopes for materials science studies. It is expected that people taking the course will have some familiarity with basic crystallography, diffraction contrast and routine microscope operation. Topics Lecture topics will include:
The course features extended practical sessions using the FEI Tecnai, JEM 2010F, JEM 4000EX, Topcon 002B, FEI CM200 and LEO 912, where specific operating techniques will be taught. The emphasis is "hands on" experience of microscope operation. There will also be sessions on image processing and simulations using advanced digital image processing programs. Lectures and laboratory demonstrations will be given by ASU faculty and CHREM staff, as well as invited expert speakers. Demonstrations of environmental electron microscopy, electron holography, and techniques of specimen preparation will be scheduled for the morning of January 11, 2008.
Fees The course fee is $750. The registration form and a check for $750, payable to "Arizona State University," should be mailed by November 1, 2007 to:
