Internet2 has showcased John Mansfield's remote control teaching collaboration with
Lehigh University on their
science and
application archive pages. EMAL was featured in the following: |
Welcome to EMAL!The University of Michigan Electron Microbeam Analysis Laboratory (EMAL) is a university-wide user facility for the microstructural and microchemical characterization of materials. Being a user facility, EMAL is open to anyone in the University research community. The laboratory is also open to users from other universities and to users from local industry.It is located at the Space Research Building on the U of M North Campus and the C.C. Little Science Building on the U of M Central Campus.
New Note. If you do not find the technique you wish to use listed on our pages, please check our Other Links page for other UM facilities. If that fails contact John Mansfield (jfmjfm@umich.edu or (734) 936-3352) and he may be able to direct you to an alternate resource.
New EMAL Server The New EMALServer is installed. It is running the booking, billing and fileserving for the whole laboratory. User data is in either User Data 1 (<sftp://emalftp@emalserver.engin.umich.edu//Volumes/EMAL Server Disk 1/User Data 1/>) or User Data 2 (<sftp://emalftp@emalserver.engin.umich.edu//Volumes/EMAL Server Disk 2/User Data 2>). All old data that was not backed up can currently be found in the "OldUserDatas" volume. Please contact John Mansfield if you think you are missing any data. Instructions for remote file transfer have changed slightly and are on the EMAL File Storage web page Remember the last three The EMAL Techniques Seminars (EMALTS) of the semester!
When: Tuesdays 1:30pm to 3:00pm Where: Room 2246 Space Research (directions here) November 25th - No Seminar Thanksgiving Week December 2nd - Introduction to STEM by Kai Sun December 9th - Introduction to the Helium Ion Microscope by David Voci of Carl Zeiss SMT. (Abstract) Come and see how this revolutionary new microscope is challenging the low voltage SEM for imaging true surface detail. In the Winter Semester the EMALTS will be on Wednesday from 3:30pm to 5:pm in the same room. Requests for subject material welcomed. XPS, AFM, etc. CBED, EELS, HREM, HAADF are under consideration, but suggestions are welcome. Silicon Drift Detector Available on Quanta 3D A new XEDS detector installed on the FEI Quanta 200 3D in the North Campus EMAL. The detector is a silicon drift detector, one of a new line of detectors that is capable of recording spectra at up to 100,000 count per second. It is an EDAX Apollo 40 SDD. See John Mansfield (jfmjfm_at_umich.edu) for operating instructions.
Remember! XEDS Workshop 2008 & FIB Workshop 2008 The presentations by Dr. Robert Anderhalt of EDAX, Inc., on XEDS and the use of the EDAX systems in EMAL (both North Campus and Central Campus) and the FIB Workshop 2008 presentations by Dr. Lucille Giannuzzi, of FEI Company, Inc., and Joe Michael, of Sandia National Labortories,are now on line. They are viewable either in a web browser or as a Video Podcast (slides and audio). The EDAX workshop was sponsored by EMAL, the MNF and EDAX. The content of the DVD of this workshop is available for registered EMAL users on the EMAL Server in volume "Userdata 1" in a folder called "EDAX EDS Microanalysis Course". The handouts for the workshop are available here. The FIB workshop was sponsored by EMAL and the MNF. The handouts for the workshop are available here. If you have questions or problems accesing this information, contact John Mansfield (jfmjfm@umich.edu or (734) 936-3352). Reminder of North Campus Instrument Booking Rules XL30 On-Demand SEM The XL30 ESEM in the NC EMAL has had a new pole-piece installed and it is now performing well. It is for on-demand use remember.

Reminder about Scanning Probe Data Analysis Note: DO NOT UNPLUG THE USB DONGLE THAT IS PLUGGED INTO THIS COMPUTER! This is the hardware key that allows the software to function.
EMAL stores all data on a Mac OS X Server, but encourages all uses to manage their data carefully. You should ALWAYS archive your data in AT LEAST 2 PLACES. EMAL CANNOT guarantee the safety of any data stored on the laboratory machines or even the server. Read more >>
