| Introduction: Recent years have seen the development of new quantitative techniques
in transmission electron microscopy for the measurement of local
properties, chemistry and structure in materials science. |

Objectives:
Enable attendants to apply and develop quantitative techniques in their
own laboratories and/or in collaboration with specialist centres for TEM.
Ultimately, the school hopes to encourage the emergence of an informal
network of microscopists across Europe versed in the new techniques.

When: Sunday 25th september – Friday 7th October Where: “La Gaillarde” St Aygulf |
Organisation committee:
E. Snoeck (Toulouse), M. Hÿtch (GDR-E), V. Serin (Toulouse), P.
Bayle-Guillemaud (Grenoble), M. Kociak (Orsay), Eric Leroy (Thiais), B.
Warot (Toulouse).
Scientific committee:
Dr. Ch. Colliex, Prof. C. Humphreys, Prof. D. Cockayne, Prof. M. Rühle,
Prof. H. Lichte and Prof. G. Van Tendeloo
Content:
The different quantitative techniques, their capabilities, experimental
difficulties, detailed application and limitations.
The instrumental, theoretical and computational advances which have allowed
current developments.
Worked examples from materials science applications.
| Teaching Style: Teaching is divided evenly between lectures and practical sessions.
Practical classes will be of three types:
At least one microscope will be installed on-site for the whole
of the two weeks for hands on experience. |

Prerequisites:
Attendants should already be experienced in electron
microscopy as the school concerns advanced techniques.
A materials science background is assumed.
Seminars and round tables:
Seminars will concern the specific application of quantitative microscopy
techniques. Round tables will be organised as a lively debate, following
the example set by the summer school in Cargèse.
