Welcome to the Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM)
The Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM) is a facility featuring cutting-edge instrumentation, techniques and expertise required for microscopic and analytical characterization of materials and devices down to the atomic scale. CENEM focuses on several complementary analysis techniques, which closely work together: Electron Microscopy, X-ray Microscopy, Cryo-TEM, Scattering Methods, Scanning Probes and Atom Probe Microscopy.
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Philipp Pelz, a member of the Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research (IMN)/CENEM at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and leader of the ECLIPSE Lab, has been awarded the prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant for h...
A team of delegations from the Institute of Micro and Nanostructure Research (IMN)/CENEM made its mark at the European Microscopy Congress (EMC 2024), one of the world's largest and most prestigious microscopy exhibitions from 25-30. August 2024. Held every four years, EMC combines advancements in m...
Two members of the Tomo-Group, Alexander Götz and Dr. Benjamin Apeleo Zubiri, represented the Institute of Micro and Nanostructure Research (IMN)/CENEM at the 16th International Conference on X-Ray Microscopy (XRM 2024), which took place in Lund, Sweden, from August 12-16, 2024. The conference broug...
The classical way to study defects in crystalline materials is transmission electron microscopy (TEM). But do we always need this expensive and sophisticated instrument? IMN/CENEM scientists have now demonstrated that the much more widespread and affordable scanning electron microscope (SEM) can be ...
In collaboration with colleagues from the Department of Data Science, IMN/CENEM researchers developed a new compressed sensing method that uses mathematical optimization to improve the quality of 3D reconstructions in nanotomography of homogeneous materials. The work was performed in the framework o...
