The Transmission Electron Microscopy Unit Applied to Materials (UMEAP) of the Scientific and Technological Centres of the University of Barcelona (CCiTUB) is one of the four nodes of the ICTS ELECMI together with the CNME (National Centre of Electron Microscopy) of the Complutense University of Madrid, the LMA (Advanced Microscopy Laboratory) of the University of Zaragoza and the Electron Microscopy Division (DME) of the University of Cadiz.
It is operated by a team of specialists in transmission electron microscopy characterisation techniques and related analytical techniques (EEL and EDX spectroscopy), as well as in advanced data processing and simulation. It also features beam precession systems (for 3D electron diffraction, electron crystallography, crystalline phase recognition and orientation and stress mapping) and specific sample holders for in situ microscopy and electron tomography.
