University of Ulster today opened the FEI Centre for Advanced Imaging in Northern Ireland. The centre will provide a suite of FEI electron microscopes for all major research areas within the university’s Biomedical Sciences Research Institute. It will also support academic research from other faculties within the university and beyond, including industrial R&D for the university’s industrial partners within the region.
The new centre is equipped with a suite of FEI tools including a Quanta™ ESEM (environmental scanning electron microscope); a Tecnai™ cryo TEM (transmission electron microscope); and a Nova NanoLab™, the world’s first DualBeam™ (scanning electron microscope/focused ion xbfi) siqmcl wg hgwepld lzoy aidqkpzogzaa.
