The workshop provides an introduction to the SEM for those with little or no prior experience. This course covers basic principles and knowledge of the scanning electron microscope including energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). In addition to lectures, there will be an emphasis on laboratory exercises that focus on instrument operation and practical applications.
$350 per person, $300 per person from the same research group and/or participate FIB/TEM short course.
$175 per person for taking lectures only.
Fees for non-UMD participants will be different. Please check with the NISP Lab office.
This is a hands-on course aimed at introducing the basic concepts, instrumentations and application of TEM to new operators. The lecture portion of the course will focus on fundamental theory in TEM; laboratory exercises are designed to provide instruction on both the operation of TEM and useful techniques for materials characterization using TEM. This course is also recommended as a refresher course to individuals with prior knowledge and operating familiarity with the TEM.
$400 per person*, $350 per person for members of research groups with multiple enrollments, or for individuals concurrently enrolled in the SEM short course.
Lecture only: $200 per person.
