The construction of the Electron Microscopy Centre has been completed at the Institute of Physics of Materials of the CAS. In the new building, a total of 5 rooms for 2 transmission and 3 scanning electron microscopes, including the necessary facilities and laboratories for sample preparation have been built. The existing microscopes and laboratories have already been relocated in the new building and are fully operational.
The Electron Microscopy Centre will not only serve the research needs of the IPM, but will also offer space for collaboration with other research organisations, universities and industrial partners.
The construction of the building, which meets the requirements necessary for state-of-the-art electron microscopy, was financially supported by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
