Diamond Light Source is pleased to announche this 2 day workshop aimed at current and potential users of in situ sample environments for TEM and X-ray Nanoprobe techniques.
Developments in sample environments for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoscale X-ray microscopy beamlines allow access to a variety of conditions and stimuli such as gas flow, heating, liquid, electrical biasing. These sample environments facilitate exciting studies of the structure and chemistry of a broad range systems spanning catalysis, corrosion, energy materials, crystallisation, and life sciences. The use of these environments with nanoscale probes however provides a series of challenges.
This 2 day workshop aimed at current and potential users of in situ sample environments for TEM and X-ray Nanoprobe techniques. The workshop will include talks from invited speakers, an introduction to the X-ray and electron microscopy facilities available at Diamond, a guided tour of the synchrotron and practical workshops from Diamond staff and commercial suppliers. There will be opportunities for attendees to present posters and flash talks and time for networking and discussions around in situ experiments.
The talks and discussions will highlight the practicalities and experimental considerations of these studies and of working with in situ cells. In addition the ‘hands on’ practical workshop sessions will allow attendees to see the in situ sample environments in action, with demonstrations across TEM and X-ray nanoprobe studies.
The following topics will be covered over the five days:
