Rothamsted Research Opens new Facility

Rothamsted Research has officially opened its impressive new research facility, which is designed to provide world-class science for sustainable agriculture and the environment. Naturally it makes heavy use of Gatan equipment – especially in the field of cryo microscopy. Opened by Professor Julia Goodfellow, Chief Executive of the BBSRC, the new complex will work in plant, invertebrate and microbial biomolecular sciences.

Harvard first for ALTO + Dual Beam

We are pleased to announce the first customer installation of ALTO 2500 onto a FEI DB235 dual beam, FIB + SEM. Researchers at the Center for Imaging and Mesoscale structures at Harvard will be able to precisely 'slice' and then examine the internal microstructure of biological and beam sensitive specimens using this exciting combination of technology.

ULSI Semiconductor Technology Atlas
Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI) refers to semiconductor chips with more than 10 million devices per chip. Written by three renowned pioneers in their field (Chih Hang Tung, George T.T. Sheng, and
Dr. C.Y. Lu), ULSI Semiconductor Technology Atlas uses examples and TEM micrographs to explain and illustrate ULSI process technologies and their associated problems. More than 1,100 TEM images illustrate the science of ULSI. For more information, click here
