Other CAMTEC facilities

Advanced Microscopy Facility (AMF)

The Advanced Microscopy Facility (AMF) is a full featured electron microscopy laboratory. AMF is also home to the highest resolution microscope in the world, a scanning transmission electron holography microscope (STEHM).

AMF is currently equipped with a TEM/STEM (Hitachi HF-3300V STEHM) equipped for holography, EDS, and GIF, a focused ion beam system (Hitachi FB-2100) with tungsten deposition and microprobe manipulator, field emission scanning electron microscope (Hitachi S-4800) with x-ray spectroscopy and backscatter detector, plasma cleaner (Fischione 1020), ion mill (Fischione 1010), gold-palladium sputter coater (Anatech Hummer VI), and a carbon coater (Cressington 208C). 

After training, you can use AMF's instruments or you can arrange for them to do the work for you.

Facility for Imaging, Photonics and Spectroscopy (FIPS)

The Facility for Imaging, Photonics and Spectroscopy (FIPS) contains leading-edge technologies in imaging, photonics and spectroscopy for fundamental research and research applications.

FIPS is working closely with many medical and industrial research & development centres in the field of biomaterial, nano-photonics and medical sensing applications to the development of novel biomedical devices. The facility also contains an extensive assortment of optical and spectroscopic equipment that can be accessed by industrial and academic partners.

UVic Nanofabrication Facility (Nanofab)

The UVic Nanofabrication facility (nanofab) is an open access user facility equipped with an Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) system in class 100 and 1000 clean rooms, and provides the capability of designing and fabricating nano-scale structures with feature sizes as small as 50 nm.

The UVic NanoFab provides the researchers on campus with a broad range of nanofabrication capabilities to support electronics, optical, molecular, magnetics and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) projects.

The UVic NanoFab will also provide high quality personnel (HQP) training for graduate and undergraduate students, which will allow them to gain mind-expanding experiences with state-of-the-art nanotechnology.
