| CATEGORY: | Analytical Methods and Modelling |
| ECTS Credits: | 1 |
| PREREQUISITES: | Electron Beam Microanalytics: Theory - EPMA, SEM, TEM, CL |
| REQUISITES: | This course is mandatory for students who wish to use the SEM at Bern. Students who wish to use the SEM at Fribourg must take the equivalent course "Electron Microbeam Techniques, Laboratory", held at Fribourg. |
| FORMAT: | Lab (2 days plus individual training on the SEM) |
| FREQUENCY: | on request, on request |
| CONTENTS: | Sample preparation, basic operation of the SEM, imaging and interpretation of different electron signals (SE, BE, EBIC, charge contrast), energy dispersive analysis (point analysis, elemental mapping). |
