A presentation by one of the main protagonists to present this equipment, a real factor of attractiveness
« This new generation microscope, delivered in April 2018, is fully operational since the beginning of the school year. Its exceptional configuration (monochromator, probe corrector, energy filter with direct detection camera) is the first to be installed in Europe. Having been defined to be very open and interdisciplinary, this microscope is at the disposal of the researchers of the IMN but also of Nantes, regional and national laboratories, working in fields of activities as varied as the metallurgy, the energy, biology, … Industrialists can also use the performance of this device by relying on the human skills of the IMN « Philippe Moreau scientific manager at IMN
To understand his performance: His performance could to describe the constitution of a tennis ball located on the moon … from the earth! Discover the complete presentation in video.
This tool represents a structuring tool for the Nantes site with an interdisciplinary approach aimed at laboratories and companies that fit perfectly into the two priority axes and ambitions of NExT.

tricia Abellan, retained in the framework of the NExT Junior Talent device, will have the chance to exploit this microscope of last generation, incredible tool.
A symbol of this attractiveness tool, Patricia Abellan, a specialist in the field and currently in England, is the laureate of the NExT Junior Talent device. She will benefit from a subsidy of 492 k € over 3 years and can therefore use this new high performance equipment.
The properties of materials critically depend on the structure and chemistry at specific locations such as interfaces and defective areas. Modern transmission electron microscopes can reveal the structure and chemical composition of materials at the atomic-scale and improve our understanding of nanomaterials properties. The goal of the e– ̶ BRIDGE project is to develop innovative electron microscopy methods for the elucidation of the structure-property relationships in complex, novel and advanced functional materials of interest to the scientific and industrial community in the Nantes area.
