Electron microscopy

Smart synthesis of polymers and tailored material development inevitably require likewise characterization skills. Besides many other characterization methods the infrastructure of the MPI-P offers an advanced electron microscopy core facility with adequate instrumentation in association with the necessary expertise. Our spectrum comprises the examination of a variety of different samples like organic and inorganic nanoparticles, polymers and soft matter, biological specimens and any combination of these.

The following electron microscopic examination methods can be performed in the Core facility EM:

• Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
• Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
• Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (TEM-EDS, SEM-EDS)
• Electron energy loss spectroscopy and image filtering (EELS, EFTEM)
• Cryo preparation and imaging (Cryo-TEM, Cryo-SEM)
