The Analytical Instrumentation Facility is now offering a virtual short course on scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition to two lectures on practical SEM operation there will be a live (virtual) demonstration of the operation of a conventional thermal emitter SEM that will show how changing beam parameters affects the resulting data. The goal of…
This virtual online seminar will provide an overview of basic data processing protocols for AFM image data collected from RTNN’s many Oxford Instruments Asylum Research AFMs to enhance user presentation capabilities. Processing steps like flattening, plane fitting & masking will be shown. Analysis procedures such as line sections, roughness reports, & histogram generation will also be…

The Analytical Instrumentation Facility is excited to host it's annual Open House and User Appreciation on August 27, 2021. Please join us for our annual Open House & User Appreciation. During this time, we’ll have coffee and pastries, an introduction for new users (presented by Dr. Aaron Bell), and AIF tours for new…
The Carolina Science Symposium is expected to draw about 100 participants, both locally and from the surrounding region. The symposium will be held virtually this year, as it was in 2020. Registrants will receive an email with the Zoom link and details prior to the event. Topics in materials science, processing, characterization, and biomaterials will…
This short course will cover the fundamentals of ion beam/sample interaction. The course involves a morning lecture followed by an afternoon live demonstration of FIB lift out on the Hydra pFIB. How to Register for a Short Course Zoom Details Once you register for the short course, Roberto Garcia will send you an email with…
Join Gatan and the Analytical Instrumentation Facility (AIF) at NC State University for a hybrid workshop featuring advanced capabilities and techniques in the realm of imaging and diffraction. Learn how large-format, high-speed cameras can transform a transmission electron microscope (TEM) into a high-throughput, data-generating machine. See how high-speed diffraction experiments like 4D STEM are…
Smart Material Solutions is giving a FIB pattering seminar on April 29 from 9:00am-10:30am. DualBeam FIB/SEMs like the Quanta 3D FIB/SEM and the Helios 5 Hydra plasma FIB/SEM at NCSU can nanopattern both by removing material with FIB milling processes and growth of material with FIB deposition. In this seminar, Nichole will share her experience…
The Confocal Raman short course includes lectures covering an introduction to the Raman spectrometry and Confocal Raman spectroscopy technique, an overview of the principles and operation of the Raman, as well as applications such as Raman on liquid and solids. Also, there will be hands-on demonstrations of these applications on the Horiba Xplora Confocal Raman.…
The Analytical Instrumentation Facility is now offering a short course on practical scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The goal of the course is to provide students basic practical knowledge of SEM imaging and elemental analysis (EDS). Participants will be encouraged to attend in person (in person is required for hands-on SEM time). A virtual lecture feed…
