Content
An introduction to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for characterization of microstructures in materials science. Techniques and theory for imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy in electron microscopes and applications in materials science will be presented.
Learning outcome
At the end of the module, the student is expected to be able to:
- know the working principle of both TEM and SEM
- know about lens optics included aberrations and astigmatism
- know about the signals from interactions between incoming electron and the materials
- understand how the different signals can be used in order to get information from the materials
- know basic principle for interpretation of experimental data from SEM and TEM
- be able to evaluate the value of use SEM and/or TEM in a project
