Equipment
The equipment of the CMNT can be roughly divided for fabrication and characterization devices. Fabrication devices enable preparation of different kinds of micro- and nanostructures and materials research. Characterization devices enable the analysis and measurement of optical and structural properties of micro- and nanostructures and materials. Besides technology related research, most of the characterization equipment can be used in other fields of research like in biomedical sciences.
CMNT equipment include for example several scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA), x-ray diffractometer (XRD), and x-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) for imaging, characterization of microstructure, and elemental analysis of various samples. The center has also equipment for sample preparation for all the analysis devices.
