Pinaki Mukherjee, PhD

Michigan Technological University

Abstract: This talk presents an overview of state-of-the-art capabilities of the aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (ac-STEM) at ACMAL, Michigan Tech. The FEI Titan Themis microscope we have here is one of a kind in the whole nation in terms of capabilities. These capabilities have been developed in last two years and most of them are already available for users. We have a wide range of imaging and spectroscopic techniques that enables a user to identify elements at atomic scale (~ 0.1 nm). READ MORE

S-TEM rate change

Published
By

We are increasing the hourly fee for internal use of the S-TEM to $70/hr. This fee will help us offset the service contract cost and is consistent with fees for the same or similar equipment at other universities. The new fee will take effect on October 1st.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Titan S-TEM at 80kV

Published
By

Some users require an 80kV beam voltage for biological samples. It isn’t possible to switch back and forth. Going from 80kv back to 200kV requires a period to stabilize again (overnight). Therefore, we are trying to schedule the 80kV experiments to Thursday and Friday each week.

Let me know if you don’t think this will work for you.

Logbook System Changes

Published
By

IT has rewritten the logbook system software. There are some great new features that we will appreciate. It isn’t ready for installation – on some systems we are going to have to upgrade the thin clients (little computer boxes) to use a newer web browser. We’ll do initial testing on the FIB since it gets less use. These instruments will be upgraded

FESEM
SEM
TEM
FIB
ESEM
Confocal (has newer client – may not need upgrading)
STEM (has newer client – may not need upgrading)

I’ll let you now when we are testing on the FIB.
