STEM Users – TEM grids (updates)

Just letting you know I put the TEM grids back in my office (MM622).

If are in need of TEM grids let me know.

Those are the ones we currently have available:

  • Continuum C-film on copper 
  • Continuum C-film in nickel
  • Lacey C-film on copper 
  • Silicon oxide Film on copper
  • Formvar Carbon single 
  • Formvar supported lacey C-film on copper
  • Quantifoil C-film on copper
  • Graphene supported Lacey C-film on copper

ACMAL Facility Closed (Except CIF)

Due to the intermittent power outages, in addition to the planned power outages, ACMAL will be closed for the remainder of this week. The Confocal Imaging Facility (CIF), will be available unless there is another unplanned power outage during the day. 

The X-ray facility will be open beginning Friday morning. All other facilities will be opening next week. Just a reminder, the FIB and FESEM annual maintenance will be occurring next week (5/9 – 5/11).

We apologize for any inconvenience.

TEM status

There is a short in the ion vacuum pump. This happens when a flake of contamination comes off the pump elements and shorts across the high voltage circuit inside the pump. This is bad news because it cannot be serviced in the lab. Unless I can knock the flake loose somehow it will have to be sent back for repair. The microscope would be down a few weeks.

I’ll keep you updated.
