Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of Western Ontario
$82,016.00
Osmium coater for electron microscopy applications
EF 2009-10
Résumé
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is critical for the detailed characterization of surfaces and materials at the sub-micron scale. There is a strong need for high quality SEM work here at Western and this application requests funding for an osmium coater, which allows us to avoid major issues related to sample charging and improve image quality that will ultimately lead to research breakthroughs in nano sciences.
The instrument will be housed in Western's Nanofabrication Facility, a user-driven open access facility and is accessible to academic, industry, and government researchers.
