Microscopes and Sample Preparation at DTU Nanolab
 

DTU Nanolab has a suite of seven complementary electron microscopes. Four scanning electron microscopes (SEM), two of which are dual beam (SEM combined with a focussed ion beam, FIB), and three transmission electron microscopes (TEM).

Three state-of-the-art distinct preparation labs allows the treatment of hard and soft matter samples prior microscope analysis. In addition, there are a number of computers available for off-line image and spectral data analysis, image simulation, and image reconstruction.
