Scientific Organiser: Xiang Li Zhong (University of Manchester)

The UK FIB & EM Prep User Group has been organized to provide an open forum for Focused Ion Beam users and all users of Electron Microscopy specimen preparation equipment to share technique advances, discuss best practices, present experimental and theoretical findings/discoveries, exchange tips for preparation of difficult materials and learn about new developments in both instrumentation and techniques, as well meet new colleagues and old friends. 

This meeting is aimed at researchers, failure analysis engineers, PhD students, and anyone having a need to understand today’s FIB and EM sample preparation technologies.

Registration for this meeting has now closed, if you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
