The Texas Materials Institute Electron Microscopy Facility provides user access to the University of Texas at Austin community for state-of-the-art atomic scale characterization. Established in 2020, this new facility hosts advanced instruments for the analysis of materials and their preparation. Access information is below.
This includes a low-voltage aberration corrected neoARM TEM that can operate from 30 – 200 kV. Located in the ground floor (level 0) of the Engineering Education and Research (EER) Building, access is through the area opposite to the spiral staircase. The facility consists of a suite of specially designed low-vibration rooms with precise temperature and humidity control. Operation of TEM is done remotely in a separate room to remove the impact of people on the room stability.
