3.1 Mio € funding has been granted for a new high-resolution x-ray microscope at CENEM, which will enable entirely new perspectives in materials science. Researchers will be able to analyze the 3D-structure of materials non-destructively on a sub-micrometer scale and use the obtained information for...

CENEM is proud to announce that the first TEM holder of its cryo-TEM subdivision has arrived. The Fischione cryo transfer holder enables the transfer of frozen samples into the TEM while holding a constant temperature of -196° C, enabling the analysis of biological and especially fragile samples. In...

The Institute I of the Department for Materials Science & Engineering, CENEM facility site, was officially established on August 9th 1965 by late Prof. Bernhard Ilschner. Since then 50 years passed and more than 600 students have received their Diploma, Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctoral degrees a...

The 1st CENEM Summer School for X-ray Scattering will be held at the chair for crystallography and structural physics from 6th to 9th of October 2015. This school will provide a perfect opportunity to get a detailed insight into theory and practice of several modern scattering methods as e.g. powder...

On the 7th of July an international symposium will be held on the occasion of the retirement of Prof. Dr. Andreas Magerl. The symposium will deal with current challenges in structural physics. Following the symposium there will be a reception and a social get-together.

The group Electron Microscopy, that builds one part of CENEM, was assigned to the Institute for Biomaterials at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. This working group evolved significantly in the last years in terms of staff members and scienti...

On March 18th 2015 the upgrade of CENEM's unique SAXS/GISAXS instrument VAXSTER (Versatile Advanced X-ray Scattering instrumenT ERlangen) started. This includes the full rebuild of the primary instrument part with the 3/4 slit collimation system focusing X-ray mirror and the X-ray source. VAXSTER wi...

This year young researchers interested in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are again invited to participate in the Erlangen TEM school from 23rd - 26th March 2015, organized by Prof. Erdmann Spiecker and his team at the Center for Nanoanalyis and Electron Microscopy (CENEM) of the University o...

In October 2014 the installation of the new transmission electron microscope (TEM) FEI Titan Themis³ 300 was finished. Now the staff of IMN and CENEM is able to perform high quality research using this high-end TEM providing high-resolution imaging as well as high performance analytical investigatio...

The new CENEM research training group "In situ microscopy with electrons, X-rays and scanning probes" GRK 1896 will be kicked off with a symposium on the 7th of November. Through the course of the whole day there will be scientific talks given by the students outlining the course of their project.
