Abstract
Abstract The Electron Microscope Unit at the University has a good selection of microscopes: two tungsten SEMs, two FESEMs, a microprobe analysis system, a 125 kY TEM, a 200 kV TEM, an AFM, an FIB miller, a Zeiss Photomicroscope and a Leica Macroscope. We service around 300 clients’ projects a year in every field of experimental science and engineering, logging over 8,000 hrs of beam time annually. But funding constraints have always kept us short staffed and our laboratory has been working towards complete digital image capture for the past ten years to enhance our productivity. The perceived benefits of digitisation for us are: Photographic processing of negatives eliminated. Archiving of (bulky) photographic negatives eliminated. Need for special darkroom & graphics skills eliminated Responsibility for archiving and indexing images devolved to individual users Responsibility for image processing devolved to individual users. Rapid turnaround of images. Rapid sharing of results.
