Course Outcomes

Alignment

Perform basic, necessary alignments of the transmission electron microscope (TEM).

Images

Use the TEM to acquire different types of images and diffraction patterns of various materials.

How the TEM works

Demonstrate a working knowledge of the physical components of the TEM and peripheral equipment.

TEM Research

Show understanding of the theory and practice of electron imaging, electron diffraction and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry, as how they apply to the characterization of materials.
