Our own Transmission Electron Microscope (Tecnai FEI Stwin-200 with LaB6 thermionic emission & Tecnai 300KV with Schottky FEG source) along with Aduro Heating holder - located at AFMM, IISC. We are highly dependent on this microscope. This is our regular characterization tool for synthesized nanostructures, as well as the workhorse for in-situ heating experiments.
TITAN G2 80-300 kV

We have access to a brand new probe-corrected 300 kV TITAN at AFMM, IISc Bangalore. It comes with a CEOS GmBH D-corr+ corrector, having capabilities of atomic-resolution (80 pm) STEM and electron tomography. The machine is installed and we have started using it in recent past. Looking forward to exciting times ahead ....
