La Unitat de Microscòpia Electrònica de l'ICN2 se centra en l'ús de tècniques de microscòpia electrònica per a la recerca i les aplicacions en nanociència i nanotecnologia. L'objectiu principal de la Unitat és proporcionar suport cientificotècnic a les línies de recerca de l'ICN2 i a científics externs i empreses privades, a més de desenvolupar i implementar noves tècniques. El laboratori manté col·laboracions actives amb altres institucions de recerca i s'implica cada vegada més en xarxes europees, com el projecte NFFA. Ofereix al personal investigador i als estudiants una àmplia gamma de serveis de processament per ajudar-los a dur a terme les seves activitats de recerca.
- Ús de tècniques de microscòpia electrònica per a la recerca i les aplicacions en nanociència i nanotecnologia
- Suport cientificotècnic tant per als grups de recerca interns de l'ICN2 com per a científics i empreses externes
- Estudi de l'estructura i la química dels nanotubs de carboni funcionals i del grafè
- Exploració de sistemes de nanotubs inorgànics laminars bidimensionals
- Estudis de microscòpia electrònica sobre la interacció de nanomaterials amb entitats biològiques
