Because of recent enormous progress in the field of electron microscopy, we believe it is the right time to introduce the novel advanced tools and methods to you, and to demonstrate valuable applications in the field of soft matter research.
The technical focus of the Symposium is Electron Tomography, which allows for 3D volume reconstruction of the organisation of matter, EELS (electron energy loss spectroscopy) for chemical recognition and determination e.g. of electronic structures, Scanning TEM (STEM) and Dual Beam Microscopy (combination of Scanning Electron Microscope and Focused Ion Beam) both as techniques rarely applied in soft matter research.
As one highlight we like to introduce to a broad community new methodologies that allow for morphology analysis of purely carbon-based materials, without staining, and for volume characterisation of several micrometer thick specimens with nanometer resolution.
