Micro and Nanoimaging open lab

LAimage occupies about 65 m² of completly renewed facilities allowing to carry out analysis and characterization of nanomaterials and micro-nanodevices by imaging techniques including FEG-SEM, AFM, optical microscopy, X-ray fluorescence and micro-nanotomography.

Capabilities

  • Micro and nanopatterns generation by e-beam (nanolithography)
  • High-resolution FEG-SEM including transmission mode
  • in-situ and in-operando electrical nanocharacterization
  • Atomic force microscopy (topography, electrical potential, magnetic)
  • X-ray fluorescent (elemental composition)
  • Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS)
  • Correlative microscopy (optical-SEM)
  • X-ray micro-nanotomography

Users will have at their disposal machines, equipment and software to develop their research, products or processes. Users are trained to use the equipment and, with exceptions, will be able to operate it. The open laboratories provide a healthy environment for the exchange of ideas, experiences and enable the formation of partnerships and collaborative networks. Source: MCTIC (adapted) .
