NUANCE Fest 2020!

Schedule: Q & A and Demos

EPIC Facility

EPIC houses instruments for scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) including scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), focused-ion beam (FIB) and specimen preparation facility (SPF). EPIC jointly collaborates with the Quantitative Bioelemental Imaging Center (QBIC) core facility as well.

Bio Cryo

The integrated BioCryo Facility provides a comprehensive source for the characterization of biological, soft matter, and hybrid samples with TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), and STEM (Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy) at cryogenic or ambient temperature. 

Keck-II

The Keck-II Center was established in late 2001 through the support of W. M. Keck Foundation.  Keck-II facilitates research, collaboration, education and outreach in all science from soft biological matter to hard physical matter, specializing in surface analysis and nano-scale characterization. 

SPID Facility

The primary objective of our mission is to enhance the education, collaboration, research and outreach related to all aspects of scanning probe and nanopatterning instrumentation, techniques and applications. SPID is a shared user facility that supports a broad range of nanoscale science and technology projects, specializing in nanoscale analysis and characterization.

NUFAB Facility

NUFAB is a central micro/nano fabrication facility in Northwestern University. It provides the whole range of nanofabrication equipment and technical expertise to Northwestern as well as external academic and industrial researchers. Our state-of-the-art equipment is located in a 6000 square-foot class-100 clean room with laminar airflow.
