La Unidad de Microscopía Electrónica de ICN2 se centra en el uso de técnicas de microscopía electrónica para la investigación y las aplicaciones en nanociencia y nanotecnología. El principal objetivo de la Unidad es proporcionar apoyo científico-técnico a las líneas de investigación de ICN2 y a científicos externos y empresas privadas, además de desarrollar e implementar nuevas técnicas. El laboratorio mantiene colaboraciones activas con otras instituciones de investigación y participa cada vez más en redes europeas, como el proyecto NFFA. Ofrece al personal investigador y a los estudiantes una amplia gama de servicios de procesamiento para ayudarles a llevar a cabo sus actividades de investigación.
- Uso de técnicas de microscopía electrónica para la investigación y las aplicaciones en nanociencia y nanotecnología
- Apoyo científico-técnico tanto a los grupos de investigación internos de ICN2 como a científicos y empresas externas
- Estudio de la estructura y la química de nanotubos de carbono funcionales y grafeno
- Exploración de sistemas de nanotubos inorgánicos laminares 2D
- Estudios de microscopía electrónica sobre la interacción de nanomateriales y entidades biológicas
