| 227-0390-00L | Elements of Microscopy | 4 credits | 3G | M. Stampanoni, G. Csúcs, A. Sologubenko | |
| Abstract | The lecture reviews the basics of microscopy by discussing wave propagation, diffraction phenomena and aberrations. It gives the basics of light microscopy, introducing fluorescence, wide-field, confocal and multiphoton imaging. It further covers 3D electron microscopy and 3D X-ray tomographic micro and nanoimaging. | ||||
| Learning objective | Solid introduction to the basics of microscopy, either with visible light, electrons or X-rays. | ||||
| Content | It would be impossible to imagine any scientific activities without the help of microscopy. Nowadays, scientists can count on very powerful instruments that allow investigating sample down to the atomic level. The lecture includes a general introduction to the principles of microscopy, from wave physics to image formation. It provides the physical and engineering basics to understand visible light, electron and X-ray microscopy. During selected exercises in the lab, several sophisticated instrument will be explained and their capabilities demonstrated. | ||||

| 327-2128-00L | High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy  Number of participants limited. | 2 credits | 3G | A. Sologubenko, R. Erni, R. Schäublin, M. Willinger | |
| Abstract | This advanced course on High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) provides lectures focused on HRTEM and HRSTEM imaging principles, related data analysis and simulation and phase restoration methods. | ||||
| Learning objective | - Learning how HRTEM and HRSTEM images are obtained. - Learning about the aberrations affecting the resolution in TEM and STEM and the different methods to correct them. - Learning about TEM and STEM images simulation software. - Performing TEM and STEM image analysis (processing of TEM images and phase restoration after focal series acquisitions). | ||||
| Content | This course provides new skills to students with previous TEM experience. At the end of the course, students will know how to obtain HR(S)TEM images, how to analyse, process and simulate them. Topics: 1. Introduction to HRTEM and HRSTEM 2. Considerations on (S)TEM instrumentation for high resolution imaging 3. Lectures on aberrations, aberration correction and aberration corrected images 4. HRTEM and HRSTEM simulation 5. Data analysis, phase restoration and lattice-strain analysis | ||||
