“Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy, Principles and Applications”

Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy are powerful techniques for the characterization of materials at a very fine scale. They are potentially of interest for all the scientific fields addressed in this Doctoral Course. Exploiting the different signals produced by the electron matter interaction, information on morphology, structure, and composition of solid materials from the micrometre to the nanometre scale is possible. The course will provide with the principles governing electron microscopy, the sample preparation, and the different operational modes available in modern instruments. Some case studies will be presented and practical sessions on the instruments installed at the Platform of Microscopy of Milano-Bicocca are planned.

Gianmaria Vanacore (Department of Material Science, University of Milano-Bicocca): Electron Matter Interaction, Electron Optics, Instruments and Advanced Applications.

Giancarlo Capitani (Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Milano-Bicocca): Electron Microscopy, Electron Diffraction and Microanalysis in Geology.

Paride Mantecca (Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Milano-Bicocca): Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy in Biology.
