Dr W Theis Applications accepted all year round Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

About the Project

We have demonstrated the ability to map all individual atoms in the 3500-atom apex of a tungsten tip. The PhD project involves developping instrumentation and methodology for high-throughput tomography of nanoparticles using the apex of tungsten tips as tomography supports.
