Dr. Christian Colliex
Laboratoire de Physique des Solides, Université Paris Sud
Abstract: New Views on the Nanoworld
The rather strong interactions between a beam of energetic electrons and a tiny volume of matter make them very well suited for exploring the nanoworld down to its individual components, the atoms. The useful information results from primary events, such as elastic or inelastic scattering, as well as from secondary events, in particular from radiative and non radiative emissions. Read more.
Dr. Sriram Subramaniam
Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute
Abstract: 3D Electron Microscopy of Cells and Viruses at Molecular Resolution: From Structure to Mechanism
Emerging methods in 3D biological electron microscopy provide powerful tools and great promise to bridge a critical imaging gap in the biomedical size spectrum. This comprises a size range of considerable interest that includes molecular machines, a variety of protein and nucleic acid assemblies and sub-cellular organelles in mammalian cell. Read more.
Professor Sir Colin Humphreys
University of Cambridge
Abstract: The Impact of Electron Microscopy on Materials Development and on our Economic Future
Materials scientists can design and create at the atomic level new and improved materials which do not exist in nature. Advanced atomic resolution electron microscopy is essential to characterise such materials, which are important both for our wealth and our health. Read more.
Dr. Tresa Pollock
University of California Santa Barbara
Abstract: A New Approach to Rapid Acquisition of 3D Materials Data at the Mesoscale: TriBeam Microscopy
The development of high fidelity material property models often requires three-dimensional information on the distribution of phases, grains or extrinsic defects. Concurrently, information on orientation and spatial distribution of elements may also be essential. Read more.
Dr. Marc De Graef
Carnegie Mellon University, Ohio State Visiting Professor
Abstract: Forward Modeling and Simulations of Electron Modalities
The field of electron microscopy offers a rich variety of experimental modalities, both in scanning and transmission modes. The recent push for more quantitative analysis of experimental data, in particular in the realm of 3-D microstructural characterization, has made it clear that there is a need for detailed and accurate forward modeling of all experimental modalities.

Dr. Maria Varela
Oak Ridge National Laboratory & University Complutense of Madrid, Spain
Abstract: To the nanoword…and beyond!
Electron microscopy is a fast evolving field and new exciting findings can be expected with the advent of recent developments such as spherical aberration correction, monochromated guns or new advances in magnetic imaging techniques such as electron magnetic circular dichroism at the nanometer scale, just to name a few. Read more.
Dr. Les Allen
University of Melbourne
Abstract: The quest for quantitative analytical microscopy at atomic resolution
High coherence and brightness electron guns and monochromators are amongst the latest additions to state-of-the-art aberration-corrected electron microscopes. Read more.
Dr. Robert Sinclair
Standford University
Abstract: The Stanford Nanocharacterization Laboratory (SNL) and Recent Applications of an Aberration-Corrected ETEM
Twelve years ago or so, Stanford University set up a university-wide multi-user facility for advanced characterization of materials, especially at the nano-scale. The philosophy, operation and business plan of this laboratory, (the “SNL”) will be described with examples of typical results. Read more.
Professor Rafal Dunin-Borkowski
Institute for Microstructure Research
Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons
Abstract: New Insight into the Fundamental Physics of Low-Dimensional and Self-Assembled Materials Using Electron Microscopy
Transmission electron microscopy has been revolutionised in recent years, both by the introduction of new hardware such as field-emission electron guns, aberration correctors and in situ stages and by the development of new techniques, algorithms and software that take advantage of increased computational speed and the ability to control and automate modern electron microscopes.
