FEI Company has successfully completed the installation of its Titan scanning/transmission electron microscope (S/TEM) at the Zaragoza University Institute of Nanoscience of Aragon (INA), located in Spain. By providing direct access to structural and analytical information down to the atomic level, the Titan S/TEM will play an essential role in the institute's three primary interest areas: the physics of nanosystems, nanobiomedicine and nanomaterials.
The INA was created in April 2003 by the government of Aragon, Spain at the University of Zaragoza. The INA includes high-level experts in many fields: physics, chemistry, engineering, biochemistry and medicine, allowing for multidisciplinary research using all branches of knowledge to address topics in nanoscience. Advanced microsocpes, such as the Titan S/TEM, will constitute the core of the new facility, known as the ICTS, for the scientific community to share. FEI Company, 503-726-7500, http://www.fei.com
