SuperSTEM invites you to the
5th Summer School on Aberration Corrected STEM
It builds on the established summer schools held at SuperSTEM every two years. This year the summer school will be run as a pre-conference satellite event to emc2012 at the Materials Science Centre in Manchester and is run in association with the
Royal Microscopical Society (RMS).
This is an exciting time of development
on several fronts in the science,
technology and application of electron microscopy.
Aberration-correction is one of the most significant of recent
advances. Image correctors have enhanced TEM considerably providing
more readily interpretable images and greater precision in atom
location, particularly in association with exit-wave reconstruction.
But the enhancement to imaging and to analysis at the single atomic
column or even single atom level resulting from the smaller brighter
electron probes provided by aberration-correction has perhaps given
STEM the greater impact.
The talks and practicals of this school will
cover the topics of aberration-correction optics, STEM imaging modes,
analysis, simulation of images EELS spectra and advanced applications
of AC-STEM and is presented by experts in the field. It is intended
for all PhD students, post-docs, academic and technical staff who use
aberration-corrected STEM as a significant part of their research.
The first day covers the fundamentals with more advanced lectures and
practical sessions on the following day and a half. Delegates will
receive comprehensive notes and a copy of the recently published
handbook “Aberration-Corrected Analytical Transmission Electron
Microscopy” (Wiley 2011) written by members of the SuperSTEM team.
The School is part funded by EPSRC through the EPSRC National Facility for Aberration Corrected STEM.

The registration fee for the 5th Summer School is €402 for registration before 16th June and €432 thereafter and covers:
- Participation in all lectures and practical sessions
- Transport to/from Materials Science Centre to SuperSTEM
facility for practicals
- Lunches
- Dinner and BBQ
- Handouts
Registration is through the RMS emc2012 registration facility, even if you don't attend emc2012 itself (you can select only the summer school during the registration process) using the following links:
Fill out your details and add the summer school (Satellite Meeting 1) to your chosen list of events towards the end of the registration process.
There is a limited number of preferential rate accommodation (£67 for single or £69.50 for double occupancy) at the IBIS hotel at Charles St in Manchester (5 min from the School venue). A special booking code will be given out to the registrants at a first come first serve basis.
For enquiries regarding the content of the programme please contact Prof Mervyn Shannon.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
