As a part of the large-scale infrastructure project NORTEM II, we have installed a new JEOL JEM-ARM300F2 “GRAND ARM2”. In connection to this, we invite to an inauguration to officially open the new instrument– and a lunch-to-lunch seminar with international renowned speakers, presenting possibilities and results from modern transmission electron microscopy (TEM) research. The event will take place in auditorium R8 in the Natural Science Building (Realfagbygget) at Gløshaugen, NTNU, Trondheim, Norway.

Guided tour for selected guests will be during lunch on Tuesday. The rest can join different tours; Tuesday at 17, Wednesday morning at 08 and Wednesday after 13.30. There is no fee for participation, but you have to register HERE within Monday 24. November. Unfortunately, there is limited seating for the dinner on Tuesday night, so this will be by invitation only.  

We invite potential users from the material and microscopy research fields in Trondheim, the Nordic countries and the rest of the world to come and join us in the celebration of the new instrument! You are WELCOME!
