Ultrafast Transmission Electron Microscopy: Techniques and Applications

Date & Time: Tuesday, May 11^th at 12:00 p.m. ET.

With the growing applications of temporally-resolved electron microscopy for basic phenomena and reducing damage in samples, this webinar will provide an introduction to the field of ultrafast transmission electron microscopy, including techniques, equipment and historical perspectives from technical experts. A combination of historical developments with recent advances will help attendees in considering ultrafast capabilities for their own research or just satisfy general interests. The ultrafast technology review will also include a broader scope of applications enabled by ultrafast techniques using a variety of sample stimuli from multidisciplinary fields.      

Join us on May 11^th to learn from technical experts Dr. Eric Montgomery (Euclid Techlabs) and Dr. John Roehling (LLNL) the basics and growing applications of ultrafast transmission electron microscopy (UTEM). This webinar is intended to inform electron microscopists of status and outlook of UTEM techniques. Attendees will come away with:

• An appreciation of the growth of UTEM across many technical fields
• An understanding of the myths and legends of implementing UTEM
• A deep understanding of the methods available to achieve time-resolved EM
• A spark to research additional ultrafast applications.
