About

Sheffield Hallam University awarded a contract to FEI UK Ltd for the procurement of an Analytical Transmission Electron Microscope.

The instrument is intended to support applied research and development across a wide range of materials, including metallic alloys, glasses, ceramics, polymer composites, and hybrid bio-compatible materials such as hydro-gels.

It has been specified for flexibility to accommodate multiple users and includes features to mitigate electron beam damage to sensitive samples, enabling the study of soft materials.

The TEM will allow ultra-high magnification imaging and analysis to determine fundamental mechanisms responsible for material properties and performance, aiding researchers in academia and industry to tailor materials for improved strength, hardness, high-temperature performance, and corrosion resistance.

It will also facilitate study of interactions between inorganic and organic materials for medical devices and polymer composites.

The project received funding from the England European Regional Development Fund as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020, with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government as Managing Authority.

The contract value is AUD 999,999.17.
