The Transmission Electron Microscopy
Laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility that is part of the
Electron Microbeam Analysis Facility in the Department of Earth
and Planetary Sciences and Institute of Meteoritics, UNM. The
laboratory provides powerful techniques for characterization of
the internal structure and chemical composition of materials
through electron imaging, electron diffraction and energy
dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) at near atomic level.
This laboratory is a multi-user, interdisciplinary
facility that is open to students, staff and faculty at the
University of New Mexico, as well as to users and scientific
collaborators from other institutions.
Access to the instrument is by arrangement with Professor Adrian Brearley (Lab Director) or Dr Huifang Xu (Lab Manager). For users who are interested in being trained to use the instrument themselves, we offer a 500 level graduate class (EPS 564 -Analytical Electron Microscopy) every Spring semester.
