Co-ordination & User Office
The Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C) for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons is a national user facility for ultrahigh-resolution electron microscopy open to universities and research laboratories.
The ER-C operates high-performance electron microscopes permitting unique insights into the world of atoms. The major issues tackled by the ER-C include the further methodological development of high-resolution electron microscopic and spectroscopic methods and their application, currently predominantly for materials research and nanotechnology.
