Our manufacturers

A huge innovation in instrumentation to be displayed at the exhibition :correctors, guns, spectrometers, monochromators, stages…

JEOL Zeiss But they are nowoften hidden and shy!!

A couple of new « protected » monsters, Nion and TEAM 1

However, if you have the authorization

and the right equipment,you may peep at the inside(with the permission of U. Dahmen, NCEM, Berkeley)

For sure, you will learn a lot about instruments, 

interpretation and applications during the week at the
