Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy

Mr. Nicolas Brodusch is the Chief Electron Microscopist in the material engineering department at McGill University, Canada since 2010. He graduated at the Université Paris-Sud, Orsay, France in Material Engineering in 1997. Involved in the field of electron microscopies since 2007, he is research interested in developing and improving new scanning electron microscopy techniques to push the limits of imaging and analysis in the field of materials science and nanomaterials. He is a world leader in diffraction and transmission techniques in the scanning electron microscope. He was awarded in 2014 for the Best Techniques and Instrumentation Development paper for year 2013 in the Microscopy and Microanalysis journal.

Dr. Hendrix Demers is a Research Associate in material engineering department at McGill University, Montreal, Canada since 2012. He received his PhD in Mining and Materials Engineering at the McGill University, Montreal, Canada in 2008. He is involved in the field of microscopy and microanalysis by developing new methods for quantitative x-ray microanalysis, for materials characterization, and data and image analysis. He is also author and co-author of a world-renowned research softwares (Win X-Ray, MC X-ray, and CASINO) and aims at helping SEM users in their X-ray microanalyses, metrology applications and in more advanced applications such as electron beam lithography. He won the Castaing Award in 2008 for the best student paper and the Heinrich Award in 2010 for the Outstanding Young Scientist from the Microbeam Analysis Society of America. He is also an Academic Editor of the Scanning journal.

Prof. Raynald Gauvin is full Professor at McGill University, Montréal, Canada. His research interest are related in developing new methods to characterize the microstructure of materials using high resolution scanning electron microscopy with x-ray microanalysis and Monte Carlo simulations. He is the creator of the CASINO program that is used by morethan 10
