An Open House was Hosted on Friday March 8th, 2013. We had over 40 visitors from both OSU and Industry. Our instrument vendor, FEI, was also present to answer questions. The highlights of the tour were the new capabilities and the new posters that you now see throughout the facility. Our new capabilities include: TEM Tomography, Cathode Luminescence imaging, and high density chemical maps made possible by the Titan TEM with ChemiSTEM capability. Twenty two new posters that were placed throughout the facility, come and see them!

Coming in early April, the Titan TEM will receive a significant software upgrade adn will be shutdown for one week. The software upgrade is going to fully integrate the Ultrascan camera and siginicantly upgrade the operation of the four Bruker SDD detectors via an update to Esprit 1.9.

EM Facility Director Interviews will be help April 22,23,30 and May 1. Please join us in welcoming these candidates.
