Microscopy Image and Spectroscopy Technology Laboratory

Micro- and nano-structural characterization is key to development and application of nanotechnology in fields ranging from medicine to crime scene investigation, from materials engineering to catalysis, and from the electronic device industry to the study of extraterrestrial materials and plants. The microscopy image and spectroscopy technology (MIST) laboratory at the Center for Nanoscience has expertise and equipment for various types of specimen preparation and microscopic analysis. The laboratory supports research and training programs, and provides analytical support and referrals for local industries and members of the academic community. Facility scientists provide comprehensive consultation on micro- and nano-characterization (SEM, EDS, TEM, HRTEM, AFM, and STM).
