Description

The University of Calgary (UCalgary) intends to purchase the EM UC7/FC7 cryo-ultramicrotome from Leica Microsystems. System will be used to accurately cut samples for analysis in a transmission electron microscope. Key to sample preparation is to cut sample into very thin sections, with very smooth surfaces, well controlled and uniform thickness. The project involves studying a wide variety of materials, including soft polymers, aerogels, cryogels, solid oxide electrolytes and complex nanocomposites, such as metal catalysts supported on carbon. The building blocks of these materials range from highly charged nanoparticles, polymer chains with different length and crystallinity, to micron-size ceramic particles. Additional details included in ACAN document.
