This course will introduce fundamental principles of electron-matter interactions, SEM instrumentation, and imaging workflows used in research and industry. Participants will learn methods to prepare samples for SEM, operate the instrument to acquire high-quality images, and how to utilize various imaging modes, including secondary electron, backscattered electron, and x-ray microanalysis for elemental quantification. This workshop will emphasize practical skills such as optimizing imaging conditions, recognizing artifacts, and troubleshooting common issues encountered during routine electron microscopy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the SEM component, this course will also provide introductory demonstration of complementary characterization techniques including x-ray microscopy (XRM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These sessions will highlight how different microscopy techniques can be utilized to study samples across multiple length from the micrometer scale down to the nanoscale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This module will be completed over 2.5 days and will combine lectures providing theoretical information with laboratory sessions using advanced characterization equipment at URI. Participants in this workshop will gain practical experience in high resolution microscopy with similar experiences to workflows used in research laboratories and industry. Participants who complete this module will receive a RI-INBRE certificate of completion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon completion of this module, participants will be able to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Students will be expected to maintain detailed laboratory notes to include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maintaining a detailed laboratory notebook will help participants develop good scientific documentation practices and provide a reference for applying microscopy techniques in their future research or technical settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Various lab supplies and equipment<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lecture slides<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lab handouts and SOPs<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instructor: Matthew Cabral, PhD, URI Location: URI Session 1: June 3 – 5 (Fascitelli Center for Advanced Engineering) Session 2: June 29 – July 1 (Fascitelli Center for Advanced Engineering) Course Overview This WDT module will provide participants with hands-on training in electron microscopy with an emphasis on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for imaging and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5477"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37900"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37900\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37932,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37900\/revisions\/37932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Course Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
