EMAS 2020 — 14th REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON: The edge of new EM technology - POSTPONED to 2022

The EMAS 2020 Regional Workshop stands in a line of biennial events held by EMAS, designed to provide postgraduate-level and research workers in materials science, material engineering and related subjects, with basic knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of electron probe-based analytical techniques. The 14th workshop aims to provide an overview of current and new electron microscope and dual-beam technology, together with the analytical possibilities they offer. The workshop is organised as low-budget meeting with lectures on practical and theoretical aspects of electron microscopy given by experts in their fields. The format and content of the meeting is tailored to the needs of research workers, as well as practical microscopists, keen to obtain a broader overview of analytical techniques currently available on the platform of an electron microscope or dual-beam system.

Topics: The core topics of the 14th EMAS Regional Workshop are: Fundamentals of new EM technology, Introduction to SEM, Introduction to TEM, Introduction to FIB-SEMs, Overview of microanalytical techniques, Volume analysis by FIB-SEM, In-situ experiments in SEM/TEM, Visits to and programme organised by Tescan and Thermo Fisher Scientific at their development labs, Applications of new EM technology, Sample preparation for SEM, Application of EM in steel research, Application of EM in mineralogy/geology, Multiscale analysis of materials, Combined SEM + AFM studies
