Monash Centre for Electron Microscopy (MCEM)

MTRP Video
The Monash Centre for Electron Microscopy is a central university research facility that performs first-class research in electron microscopy. MCEM provides advanced instrumentation, expertise and training in scanning and transmission electron microscopy, enabling researchers to solve key problems in the physical sciences and engineering. The Centre’s suite of instrumentation can determine the composition, structure and bonding of materials down to the atomic scale.
Working with us

MCEM staff provide expert advice and training to researchers using the Centre. In addition, MCEM academic and research staff conduct their own specialised research programmes in fundamental and applied microscopy. For access to the MCEM facility follow the project request instructions.

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

The Centre has three SEMs and one SEM/FIB system capable of imaging surface features to below 2 nm in size.

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)

The Centre houses four advanced TEMs capable of examining materials at the atomic scale.

Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX)

MCEM has capabilities to perform Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX).

Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD)

Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a microstructural-crystallographic characterisation technique.

High Angle Annular Dark Field (HAADF)

High Angle Annular Dark Field (HAADF) can be performed at MCEM.

Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBED)

In Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBED) a highly convergent electron beam is focussed on to a small area.
