Facility Open Day 22nd April
EM RTP Facility Open Day
22nd April 2026
On 22nd April, the EM RTP will hold a Facility Open Day, sponsored by the Technology Specialists Network.
The aim of the Open Day is to showcase our world-class instrumentation, raise awareness of the facility’s capabilities, connect with peers in the electron microscopy community, and strengthen partnerships with key EM instrument manufacturers.
The event will include a morning symposium, followed by afternoon laboratory tours and live demonstrations, provided directly by leading EM instrument suppliers, including Gatan, Tescan, and Zeiss.
We hope to use this occasion to further strengthen our existing collaborations and cultivate new ones by presenting our latest developments and opportunities. These include our comprehensive materials characterisation capabilities, from the micron scale to the atomic scale; the recent addition of the NanoMEGAS precession system for precession electron diffraction and 4D-STEM; our expertise in in situ experiments supported by a wide range of advanced in situ TEM holders; and our capabilities in 4D-STEM and leading research in electron ptychography.
There is no registration fee and lunch will be provided.
We have received funding to cover reasonable travel expenses and one night of accommodation on 21 April for a limited number of delegates. If you require support, please indicate your needs by checking the appropriate boxes on the registration form. All requests will be reviewed, and we will contact you if you application is successful.
If you are interested in participating as an EM instrument supplier, researcher, or technical specialist, please contact Dr Yisong Han (yisong.han@warwick.ac.uk).
