Welcome!
The Electron Microbeam Laboratories (EML) in the Department of Geoscience at University of Wisconsin-Madison houses electron microprobe (EPMA) and electron microscope (SEM) instruments for measuring the chemistry and structure of solid materials.
The Eugene Cameron Electron Microprobe Laboratory houses two 5-spectrometer electron microprobes: a Cameca SX-Five with Schottky Field Emission electron source and a Cameca SX-100 with W-filament electron source. The Ray and Mary Wilcox Scanning Electron Microscope Laboratory houses two SEMs: a Hitachi S-3400 VP-SEM equipped with EDS, EBSD, and CL and a Hitachi S-3700 VP-SEM with custom cryo-stage assembly for EBSD of ice.
These instruments are used to produce data for many disciplines investigating solid materials including geoscience, materials science, engineering, metallurgy, chemistry, physics, medical physics, anthropology, biology, and others. For more information about the techniques available in these labs and other core facilities at UW-Madison, see the UW-Madison Research Cores Directory.
We are located on the third floor of Weeks Hall in the Department of Geoscience (rooms 302, 306, 307, 308, 312, 318); stop by for a visit or contact us for additional information.
