About our Core
The Kleberg Advanced Microscopy Center (KAMC) Core Facility provides state-of-the-art technology in electron microscopy and advanced material characterization to support world-class research in nanotechnology, biology, chemistry, and materials sciences.
The Center features world-class instrumentation, including Helenita- the first aberration-corrected electron microscope installed in the United States that can see and chemically identify individual atoms, a Focused Ion Beam (FIB) instrument for TEM sample preparation and 3-D imaging & chemical mapping via serial slicing and various SEMs. KAMC also supports analytical studies and characterization of nanoscale systems via a high-resolution, multi-functional X-Ray Diffraction Spectroscopy (Panalytical Empyrean), Raman Spectroscopy as well as Atomic Force Microscopes.
Our core also features a computational laboratory where students and researchers can analyze images and spectral data using: Gatan Microscopy Suite software (GMS 3), JEMS for image and electron diffraction simulations, ImageJ (Fiji), ASTAR for orientation mapping, Dragonfly for XRD analysis, and other off-line software that support spectroscopy data analysis tools.
