Thermo Fisher Scientific Center for Advanced Microscopy and Materials Analysis (CAMMA)

The Thermo Fisher Scientific Center for Advanced Microscopy and Materials Analysis (CAMMA) is one of the world’s foremost facilities for electron microscopy. Its microscopy instruments include the Titan Themis for sub-angstrom analysis of materials and the Talos 200 S/TEM for simultaneous quantitative enery dispersive spectroscopy and analysis to uncover chemical composition of materials. This equipment is available for collaborative research with industry partners including applications for clean energy materials and the testing of additively-manufactured components such as those found in medical devices and polymeric materials for biomedical applications.
