Microscopy
• ‘ Electron Spectroscopy ’ focuses on the development of advanced electron spectroscopy methods and procedures that can be used for local measurements of magnetic , electronic and optical properties .
• 3D nanometrology combines three different TEM methods ie . tomography , holography and confocal microscopy to advance the nanometrology of structures and fields .
• “ Time resolved microscopy ’ is designed to stimulate European effort in time-resolved TEM which is not currently available .
Final results and benefits Support for the European Commission-funded ESTEEM2 project is due to finish in September . It is difficult to accurately predict the long-term benefits from the ESTEEM2 project as these are dependent on global advances and market economies in an uncertain climate . We have however , identified a number of areas in which we expect to make substantial contributions to scientific research , economic impact and the wider societal aspects . These include :
• Investigations of a range of materials that form components , operating under extreme environments in fusion reactors , with particular emphasis on crack propagation studies . This has direct relevance to the EU fusion reactor programme at Cadarache and more generally to the development of alternative power that is not reliant on Nuclear Fission
• Structural studies of catalysts with direct relevance to the automotive industry to meet the next generation of emissions controls

Lumenera ’ s INFINITY3-6UR USB3 Camera

Lumenera , a leading manufacturer and developer of high performance digital cameras and custom imaging solutions , recently released their new high performance USB 3.0 microscopy camera .

The ESTEEM2 map of Europe
• The measurement of lattice vibrations in an organic semiconductor for the first time with immediate application to fuel and solar cell research . ( JRA “ Diffraction ”)
• A new method for sample preparation particularly suited to site specific samples from the latest electronic devices .
• We continue to populate a database of resources for the EU community related to TEM based research and have organised a series of schools and workshops that will contribute to the development of key skills in science and engineering with long term economic benefit to industry and academia .
