Abstract
In 1996 the DOE formed the Materials Microcharacterization Collaboratory (MMC) to bring together the four DOE-sponsored electron microscope user facilities in one collaboratory. The MMC will bring the microanalysis and microcharacterization tools that are available in national centers to geographically dispersed researchers working in industries, universities, and Government laboratories. It will enable these remote users to share on-line the instrumentation, knowledge and expertise available at the individual facilities making up the collaboratory.LBNL first demonstrated on-line remote control of a high-voltage TEM from Kansas City in 1995 in a joint project by LBNL computer scientists and NCEM microscopists. The microscope chosen was a 1.5MeV Kratos EM-1500 that is used for in-situ electron microscopy. In the demonstration, a specimen of an Al/Pb alloy was heated and observed, with remote-operator control of heating rate, microscope focus, and stage movement (translation and tilt).
