Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Contents and methods:
Our Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) offer various techniques to investigate samples.
In this course you will have the opportunity to learn the necessary preparation steps and the usage of the SEM in several modes so that you can apply these techniques with your own samples afterwards.
On the SEM you will use the following modes:
Secondary electron detector in low vacuum and high vacuum, backscatter electron detector in low vacuum and high vacuum, energy dispersive x-ray micro analysis with EDX detector.

Assessment and permitted materials

Choice of relevant methods for sample preparation, work in our chemlab, operating preparation instruments and SEM, evaluation and interpretation of results.
1) Moodle Test - Safety instructions for the EM Lab (has to be done before practical work)
2) Cooperation
3) Short Presentation
4) Worksheets
