Correlative microscopy qualifies scanning electron microscopy for defect analysis in 2D materials
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 equally used when applied in scanning transmission mode (STEM) and has even advantages […]

Improving reconstructions in nanotomography via mathematical optimization
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 of the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center CRC 1411 “Design of particulate products” and recently […]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.
