Advanced Electron Microscopy School |
|
(Nanowerk News) This course is aimed at those already in possession of a sound knowledge of S/TEM requiring a deeper understanding of advanced electron optics, and is especially suited to those using, or expecting to use, any type of aberration-corrected and/or monochromated S/TEM instrument. The number of places will be limited, ensuring a good lecturer/attendee ratio and maximizing the opportunity for inquiry and learning. By the end of the two weeks, attendees can expect to have a strong command of advanced techniques that will significantly benefit both their research and their ability to guide and train others. A course handbook will also be available, to act as invaluable reference material long into the future.

The first week will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark and the second in Gothenburg, Sweden, with world class facilities for hands-on workshops at DTU and Chalmers University, respectively. Lectures and accommodation for Week 1 will take place at a hotel on the edge of a tranquil deer park, and for Week 2 on a Viking ship hotel permanently moored in Gothenburg harbor. The afternoons will be spent at the universities for the practical sessions.
