As someone who is
interested in the Plymouth Electron Microscopy Centre (PEMC), we’d love you to
join us on Wednesday 3 December for an event we’re hosting with the West
of England Aerospace Forum (WEAF), which will explore the relevance and use of
electron microscopy in precision engineering, aerospace, defence and
manufacturing businesses.
Not only will you get the opportunity to
have a look around the PEMC and meet companies from across the region involved
in the aerospace supply chain, but you will also hear from our experienced
speakers who include:
- Simon
Young – WEAF
- Kim
Larsen – Oxford Instruments (characterising materials, using EM)
- Professor
Neil James –Plymouth University (aircraft materials and accident
investigations)
- Victor
Arghyrou – UTC Aerospace (why we use the PEMC)
In addition, as you are a small-medium
sized company based in the south–west, you are able to get 12 hours of free
support from the PEMC between now and March 2015, thanks to European funding.
So please bring along a component or
sample on the day for us to analyse – we can carry out:
- Analysis
of the properties of materials – e.g. are these two stainless steel samples
identical?
- Analysis
of defects and component failure – e.g. why are two surfaces not bonding?
- Quality
control – objective information for your customers – e.g. confirmation of
plating thickness
- Bio-imaging
- Mineralogical
analysis
- Imaging

3 December, and to book, go to:
If you can’t join us on the 3rd,
but would still like to discuss how you could use your 12 hours of free time
with the electron microscopes, please feel free to contact me:
