Scanning Electron Microscopy Shared Research Facility (SEM SRF) | Scanning Electron Microscopy Shared Research Facility

Scanning Electron Microscopy Shared Research Facility

We apply electron microscopy to the study of advanced and natural materials for the energy transition, and for a cleaner and safer environment.

About the facility

In the SEM SRF we have long-standing expertise in the development and application of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to materials’ research. We collaborate with national and international researchers and industrial partners on electron microscopy topics in engineering, physical sciences, Earth and environmental sciences, and health and biosciences.

Our team

Alongside expertise in EBSD in the SEM, our team of skilled scientists offers expertise in FIB (focused ion beam) SEM and TEM (transmission electron microscopy).

Our research

We are working to connect EBSD and TKD (transmission Kikuchi diffraction) with EDS (X-ray spectroscopy), CL (cathodoluminescence) and other state-of-the-art microscopy techniques using integrated workflows.
