Description:
The current High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) facility at the Bernal Institute comprises a field-emission JEOL 2100F and a Thermofisher aberration correction and monochromated Titan Themis cubed TEM. The JEOL 2100F TEM is in active use for the purpose of bright field (BF) and dark field (DF) TEM imaging, electron diffraction, high resolution (HR)-TEM, scanning TEM (STEM), with high angle annular dark field (HAADF), BF and secondary electron (SE2) detectors, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometry analysis, and tomography. The Titan Themis is in active use for HR-TEM and HAADF STEM (facilitated by image and probe correctors). Analytical capabilities include EDX spectroscopy and dual electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Associated holders for the Titan allow in situ analysis with heating and electrical biasing capabilities in vacuum, liquid, and gas phase environments, including gas mixing. Tenders are sought for the Supply of Equipment for the High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) facility. Three items of equipment are to be purchased. (i) a transmission electron microscope (ii) an in-situ indenter and (iii) an automated vitrification instrument for rapid cooling of samples These instruments will be installed in the basement of the MSSI building of the Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick. A floor plan of the intended location is provided – document reference LA2479C TEM room requirements.
