If you are ever going to need TEM grids while I’m on vacation (Aug 2-30), please take the TEM grids in the glass desiccator at the MM631.
Please, make sure you follow the TEM Grid Instructions.

The FESEM is available for imaging, but the EDS system is not currently working.
I’ll be out of town August 2-30 and Joshua King is looking after the STEM while I’m gone.
Please, make sure you double check Joshua King’s schedule and invite him when you reserve time at the STEM so he can assist you during the STEM sessions.
STEM training sessions will resume In September.
If you need TEM grids please let Elizabeth Miller knows.
Kind regards,
Erico Freitas
The AFM is available for use.

I’m happy to report the FESEM is back online. The repairs were completed this morning and the instrument can be reserved as soon as this afternoon.
The AFM computer is not currently working. MTU IT is aware of the problem. We will work with them to address the situation.
Until the issue is resolved, the instrument will not be available for use.
Unfortunately the service engineer couldn’t complete the repairs this week and will be returning next week.
Hitachi will be on site tomorrow to repair the issue. We hope to have the FESEM back online soon.
The FESEM has a vacuum issue and won’t be available for use until we can repair this. I have calls out to our service engineers and hope to know more soon.
I’m glad to let you know the STEM is back online.
You may schedule sessions using Google calendar from tomorrow’s afternoon on.
Make sure to select ACMAL-STEM room.

The ESEM is back online. We have a temporary fix. The issue will be permanently solved by the upgrade in August. In the meantime, don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any problems.
