Abstracts
Abstract from Min: We'll focus on the basics of scanning electron microscopy and its applications in hard-matter and nano-materials: instrumentation, electron-sample interaction, signals and their employments, practical issues, and its high flexibility to integrate with many other techniques (focused ion beam, environmental, temperature variation, electrical and optical measurements, AFM, Auger, nanomanipulations, depth resolution measurements, etc.).
Abstract from Grahame and Emily: In biology, electron microscopy has been the gold standard method for visualizing cells and organelles. Only EM has the resolution to identify membranes and filament systems, and for that reason, most textbook images of organelles are based on EM. Transmission EM has been the most widely used, and has greatest resolution. Robotics advances in scanning EM during past 15 years have provided complementary approaches that include very large fields and volume EM - three dimensional stacks of EM images. Advances in digital imaging analysis (machine and deep learning) continue to expand these capabilities. What are the limits - we will have an interactive discussion on that topic.
