NANA2002 Practical Course in Nanoscience, Imaging (5 op)
Kuvaus
Introduction to a number of imaging techniques used in depiction and evaluation of micro and nano sized objects. The imaging techniques included are: scanning electron microscopy, helium ion microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, confocal microscopy and x-ray tomography.
Each imaging technique includes:
- Introduction lecture explaining the operational principle.
- Laboratory session with hands-on imaging of typical nano and/or micro scale samples.
- Dialogue-lecture on how to prepare the imaging data and write the lab report.
- Writing of lab report.
At the end of the course a Concluding Seminar is held with presentations and Q&A on each imaging technique.
