FEI have long-term loaned a specialist, industry-leading electron microscope, known as QEMSCAN, to Prof Richard Worden in the Department of Earth, Ocean and Ecological Sciences. The equipment will be used to undertake novel research in Petroleum Reservoir Geoscience with future plans to move into general materials characterisation. QEMSCAN is a fully automated, non-destructive, micro-analysis system that provides rapid, statistically reliable and repeatable, mineralogical, petrographic and metallurgical data, from virtually any inorganic, and some organic, materials. This event, organised jointly with FEI, is intended to showcase the equipment to interested scientists and engineers at Liverpool University, with an extra objective of developing plans for an FEI-Liverpool University “Rock and Materials Characterisation” centre.

The event will start with a short presentation by Prof Richard Worden and FEI's Dr Alan Butcher. This will be followed by demonstrations of the equipment with wine and nibbles provided in a room adjacent to the QEMSCAN lab.
