G.J. Russell Microscopy Facility
The GJ Russell Facility is the electron microscopy suite for the Faculty of Science, Durham University. We have state-of-the-art scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and focused ion-beam microscopes (FIB) that are accessible to staff and students from Physics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Engineering and Biology.
We also work extensively with industry and regional universities on routine characterisation as well as R&D projects. An example of our analytical capabilities is our work on Carbon-based nanostructures. These are used in a range of composite materials and are also being investigated for potential device applications. TEM and SEM provide a wealth of information about the material and their dependence on the processing conditions.
