The instrument is being installed in the Monash Centre for Electron Microscopy (MCEM) in Melbourne, Australia, a node of Microscopy Australia. The Thermo Scientific Spectra φ is configured to provide enhanced electron beam flexibility to optimize advanced imaging of complex material systems. The Spectra φ was designed and built to meet the specifications of a team led by Professor Joanne Etheridge, of MCEM and Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. By incorporating Spectra φ into their instrument lineup, Monash University will continue driving groundbreaking research into significant energy related and other initiatives, including high-efficiency photo-voltaic devices, batteries, materials light-weighting, low consumption electronics and clean generation, all which support making the world cleaner, healthier and safer.
