Abstract

Since its establishment in 1984 the National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) has provided a wide variety of users with advanced electron microscopy facilities for microstructural characterization. It has, in addition continued to develop and improve its resources to expand the range of features available to users.A major effort has been expended in building up a comprehensive computing facility to assist microscopists in optimizing instrument performance and extracting the maximum information from experimental data. The best currently available hardware has been assembled and a long menu of user-friendly software programs have been developed for general use. Sophisticated image simulation and image enhancement programs provide users of the Atomic Resolution Microscope all the necessary information for the correct interpretation of high resolution images. Direct links to both the ARM and the 1.5 MeV Kratos HVEM allow Fast Fourier Transforms to be performed, producing on-line diffractograms and greatly facilitating the effective and efficient use of the microscopes.
