KurzbeschreibungThe introductory course on Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) provides theoretical and hands-on learning for beginners who are interested in using TEM for their Master or PhD thesis. TEM sample preparation techniques are also discussed. During hands-on sessions at different TEM instruments, students will have the opportunity to examine their own samples if time allows.
LernzielUnderstanding of
1. the set-up and individual components of a TEM
2. the basics of electron optics and image formation
3. the basics of electron beam – sample interactions
4. the contrast mechanism
5. various sample preparation techniques
Learning how to
1. align and operate a TEM
2. acquire data using different operation modes of a TEM instrument, i.e. Bright-field and Dark-field imaging
3. record electron diffraction patterns and index diffraction patterns
4. interpret TEM data
InhaltLectures:
- basics of electron optics and the TEM instrument set-up
- TEM imaging modes and image contrast
- STEM operation mode
- Sample preparation techniques for hard and soft materials

Practicals:
- Demo, practical demonstration of a TEM: instrument components, alignment, etc.
- Hands-on training for students: sample loading, instrument alignment and data acquisition.
- Sample preparation for different types of materials
- Practical work with TEMs
- Demonstration of advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy techniques
SkriptLecture notes will be distributed.

KurzbeschreibungThe introductory course on cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) provides theoretical and hands-on learning for new operators, utilizing lectures, demonstrations and hands-on sessions.
Lernziel- Overview of cryoEM theory, instrumentation, operation and applications
- Prepare cryoEM sample (vitrification using Vitrobot)
- Set-up, align and operate a cryoTEM successfully and safely
- Set up automated data collection
- Basic processing steps to analyze/interpret the data e.g., reconstruction 3D volumes
InhaltThis course introduces and gives an overview of cryoEM and its applications. At the end of the course, students will be familiar with how to prepare vitrified probe and how to use a cryoTEM to collect and analyze data for exemplary techniques:
- Introduction and discussion on cryoEM and instrumentation
- Lectures on cryoEM theory
- Lectures on cryoEM applications
- Practicals/demonstration on vitrification, grid preparation
- Practicals/demonstration on data collection
- Lecture and practicals/demonstration on reconstruction of 3D volumes from 2D cryoEM projections/images
