Electron microscopy in Materials Science at NTNU

The Norwegian University of Science and
Technology (NTNU) NTNU is the centre for technological education and research in Norway, with a solid foundation in the natural sciences. It has 7 faculties and 53 departments with 20 000 students, half of whom study technology or natural sciences.

Cross-disciplinary The electron microscopy activities in materials science are spread over three departments and two faculties:

• Department of Materials Technology
• Department of Physics in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology
• Department of Geology and Mineral Resources Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology

Facilities During recent years significant investments have been made in order to make NTNU a leading centre of electron microscopy in
materials science. We offer a broad range of instruments including state-of-the-art:

• Scanning electron microscopes (SEM)
• Transmission electron microscopes (TEM)
• Electron probe microanalyser (EPMA)
