Welcome at LEM
The Laboratory for Electron Microscopy is a central facility of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
We carry out electron microscopic service work for the KIT institutes and external customers. Our research acitivities are in the following areas:
- Application of electron microscopy to the question in solid state physics, materials research, nanotechnology and biology
- Method Development in electron microscopy
- Elektron optics
- Nanostructuring
The title page of the Journal Particle and Particle Systems Characterization refers to Milena Hugenschmidt´s work on ZIF-8 particles directed deposited on TEM grids published in DOI: 10.1002/ppsc.202000209 (M. Hugenschmidt et al., Part. Part. Syst. Charact. 2020, 2000209)
