D4 Ultrafast Electron Microscopy Station

May 29, 2025

Introduction

Ultrafast electron microscopy station enables studies of structural dynamics in solid-state and biological systems with nanometer- and sub-picosecond spatiotemporal resolution. UEM facilities (ultrafast TEM and SEM) integrate the cutting-edge technologies of ultrashort laser and electron microscopy to provide ultrafast imaging, diffraction, energy spectroscopy, and photon-induced near-field electron microscopy with high spatiotemporal resolution. The main focus of ultrafast electron microscopy station is the development and innovation of UEM instrumentations and mythologies, thereby providing world-class service to both national and international users, and enabling discoveries of new non-equilibrium physical phenomena and mechanisms in various fields of research in matter science through unprecedented space-time-energy-momentum -resolved experiments.
