Scanning Microscopy Laboratory

The AIF Scanning Microscopy Laboratory is comprised of 2 scanning electron microscopes, an atomic force microscope and a dual beam scanning focused ion beam/scanning electron microscope.

Transmission Electron Microscopy Laboratory

The AIF Transmission Electron Microscopy Laboratories hosts three transmission electron microscopes (TEM), one sample preparation laboratory, and computer simulation function.

X-Ray Diffraction Laboratory

The AIF X-ray Diffraction Laboratory currently hosts the Rigaku SmartLab X-ray diffractometer. Two additional instruments are scheduled to come online this summer.

Surface Science Laboratory

Surface analysis laboratory has new instrumentation with a SPECS XPS and an ION-TOF TOF-SIMS V secondary ion mass spectrometer. These two instruments provide surface complementary surface analysis information.
