The gateway to electron microscopy: CIME@EPFL.CH
Service request:
Typical duration: 1-3 sessions on a SEM or TEM.
We do the preparation, the experiment and the interpretation for you. No experience required.
- You have very occasional needs and training on a microscope would require more time than the actual experiment...
- You are a CIME user and need some assistance with a microscope or a technique that you are not (yet) trained on.
- You have a problem and guess that EM would give you the answer. We will try it for you ! (pilot study)
- it is very urgent and you cannot wait for the next user training....
Send us your service request.
Training request:
You are working on a project that requires that you do your own microscopy:
- We will train you on the appropriate microscopes: you become a CIME user.
- We help you to obtain the best out of our microscopes.
- With your experience increasing you can apply for training on:
additional microscopes (High-Resolution SEM/TEM) and analytical techniques (EDX, EELS, EBSD).
Project Proposal: Collaborations
You need the expertise and competence of the electron microscopy center but you do not want to become a fully trained user:
- Discuss your needs with us. Collaboration with the CIME can be quite flexible. We will find a solution together with you !
Send us your collaboration proposal.
Industrial Service
You are not an academic institution but you need SEM or TEM service.
Foucused Ion Beam Service
Micromachining, TEM-lamellae preparation, FIB/SEM cross-sectioning, 3D volume anlaysis and reconstruction (see FIB techniques under EM techniques).
We have the expertise and experienced operators:
