In October (6-7th) I took part in a workshop on Advanced Electron Microscopy Methods Applied to Investigations of Nanomaterials organized by Warsaw University of Technology & Hitachi High-Technologies. I participated in a series of lectures devoted to scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and in a practical session in front of the HITACHI HD-2700 scanning transmission electron microscope equipped in electron energy loss spectrometer (EELS)
