News! two events will be held in Irvine Materials Materials Institute (IMRI) at UCI:

1) Second International Symposium on Advanced Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy (SAEMS), December 9-12, 2019.

2) First UC Irvine School on Transmission Electron Microscopy (UCI-STEM), December 11-12, 2019.

The symposium will focus on the retrieval of hidden structural, chemical, electronic, orbital and spin information at the sub-atomic scale by leveraging the novel instruments that can capture electron scattering, and energy loss processes at unprecedented time and energy scales. Topical subjects of in situ microscopy such as gas and liquid cells, electrical and mechanical manipulation, and radiation damage will also be discussed.

UCI-STEM for this year will focus on liquid cell TEM, STEM imaging and spectroscopy. The school will emphasize both theoretical background and practical aspects of instrument operation. We encourage anyone who would like to increase knowledge and skills on liquid cell TEM, STEM and spectroscopy techniques to participate in our first UC Irvine Microscopy School. This is ideal for graduate students and young scientists to get advanced knowledge and training in these two important areas of electron microscopy and spectroscopy.
