Our researchers will be able to perform unprecedented experiments with unique access to a state-of-the-art high-resolution transmission electron microscope, allowing them to view real-time processes at an atomic scale – trillionths of a metre.
QUT has the first Australian-based TEM-ARM200F ‘NeoARM’ Atomic Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope manufactured by JEOL. Installation began in September 2020 with operations expected to commence in early 2021.
Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow Professor Dmitri Golberg, co-director of the QUT Centre for Materials Science, said the NeoARM would help advance understanding in materials science, physics, polymer science and bioengineering.
“The NeoARM will allow researchers to access high-resolution imaging of materials containing light elements and specimens susceptible to electron-beam irradiation,” Golberg said.
