Abstract
The largest project in transmission electron microscopy ever to be undertaken in this country has recently been initiated within the Materials and Molecular Research Division of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory due to the support of the Division of Materials Research, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, U.S. Department of Energy. This project has been given the name “Atomic Resolution Microscopy” and its goal is to provide the instrumentation and expertise necessary to conduct materials research directly at the atomic level. Taking advantage of the best available technology in electron-optical design, its core instrumentation is a unique machine, the Atomic Resolution Microscope (ARM), which is to be built by commercial manufacturers to the specifications of LBL and used in basic research programs requiring atomic imaging capabilities. The project will also include an in-house instrument development effort to maintain state-of-the-art performance from the ARM. Details of history, organization and performance specifications are outlined below.
