Head of Laboratory of Optical Materials Krišjānis Šmits passed the training program at the 2017 EELS & EFTEM (Electron energy loss spectroscopy & Energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy) Analysis Training School in Pleasanton, CA, United States from April 2 to April 10.
Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) is a powerful technique that provides both compositional and chemical information from sub-nanometer areas in the sample. The course attendee learned best practices to set up and optimize EELS hardware and experimental protocols to capture and extract the maximum amount of compositional and chemical information from TEM samples.
