We recently published the manuscript titled "3D analysis of equally X-ray attenuating mineralogical phases utilizing a correlative tomographic workflow across multiple length scales" in the journal Powder Technology demonstrating an interdisciplinary collaboration between the IMN/CENEM and the group...

The PhD defense of Mr. Birk Fritsch took place on 20. Feb. 2023, in the seminar room of the IZNF building. With his outstanding work “Quantification of electron beam-induced effects during in situ liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy“, he has been awarded the title Dr.-Ing. with distinction...

This image reminds us on confetti, which fits to the carnival season! Every color represents a specific in-plane orientation of the nano-crystallites. This orientation mapping of AlN crystallites was acquired with 4D-STEM, an advanced technique collecting the electron diffraction patterns at each p...

Even though there is not enough snow surrounding us in nature, we at least have an image that reminds us of snowflakes. These “snowflakes” are dendritic silver patches synthesized in the group of Prof. Robin Klupp Taylor, Institute of Particle Technology. The image was acquired using the scanning t...

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We are looking forward to sharing our calendar 2023 with you online. Every month a fascinating microscopy image will be revealed reflecting the research of CENEM and IMN. The cover picture shows an electron diffraction image of TiS2, a layere...

Our CENEM nanowire experts Dr. Lilian Vogl, Dr. Peter Schweizer (now both at EMPA, Thun Switzerland), and Peter Denninger from the Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research headed by Prof. Spiecker recently published their work about gold nanowires provided by Gunther Richter from the Max Planc...

A special scientific event, the “ZEISS On Your Campus Truck Tour 2022”, will make a stop in Erlangen at IZNF on 03.-04. of November 2022. Zeiss will set up a showroom next to IZNF building and Zeiss experts offer individual live demonstrations on-site or remote sessions for various microscopic ...

We warmly welcome Prof. Philipp Pelz, who started his professorship for Computational Materials Microscopy at CENEM & IMN in August this year.   Before joining CENEM & IMN, he was a postdoctoral researcher working on computational electron microscopy with Prof. Mary Scott in the M...

We are proud that the Alumni Symposium & Reunion of AG Electron Microscopy & Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research (IMN) took place on 24th June 2022 and that so many alumni participated and made it a memorable event. Erdmann Spiecker, head of CENEM and IMN, and Mingjian Wu presente...

Taming radiation effects during in situ studies in liquid phases is a major challenge for investigations with ionizing radiation, such as electrons or X-rays. In a recent work published in Advanced Science, researchers of FAU (IMN, CENEM, LEB, ICSP, LKO), Helmholtz-Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Re...
