IFP Energies Nouvelles is making 3 of its microscopes partially available to the CLYM community:
- a JEOL JEM-2100F microscope with HR pole piece, STEM and EDS;
- a JEOL JEM F200 microscope with cold cathode, HR pole piece, STEM, GIF EELS;
- several specimen holders, including an atmospheric heating/transfer specimen holder and an electrochemical liquid in situ specimen holder;
- a LIBS (Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) for chemical mapping of elements with atmospheric sampling and ppm sensitivity.

IFP Energies Nouvelles officially joined CLYM on January 1, 2024. They become both the 14th member and the 7th institution.

Welcome to them!

How to bring to life geological processes unfolding on time and space scales beyond human perception?

The Fête de la Science 2023 was a great success, with around 500 people of all ages discovering the CLYM microscopes. They were able to discover many everyday objects at scales invisible to the naked eye (right down to atoms). They were also able to talk to people who were passionate about their work: technical staff, PhD students, lecturers and researchers. Many thanks to everyone involved in making this event happen!
