PH62501---Electron Microscopy
This is a hands-on course intended to provide the necessary theory in the methods of transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. In addition, the principles of scanning tunneling electron microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) will be reviewed.

PH53501---Experiments in Physics
This is a hands-on training intended to provide the necessary individual practical training in the methods of transmission electron microscopy, instrumental techniques and interpretative application of contrast and diffraction principles, to enable students to apply this method of structural characterization to problems connected with their research projects. Small group laboratory session are given to make the students confident with operation of the instrument. A series of exercises are carried out by each student to afford practice in the various capabilities of the TEM method. The students should be able to operate the microscope independently after this training course.
