PFIB-SEMs are rare in the university environment, and plasma-technology ones like this new acquisition are even rarer. This equipment consolidates the collaboration on this technique between Grenoble INP - UGA and the CEA. This latest-generation instrument will open up new capabilities for nano-structuring materials, an essential step in the development chain of new materials.
