This page summarizes the standard training items necessary for operating a TEM.
The standard training based on this page is currently in preparation, and the contents are subject to change.
For an overview of the training and usage permission, please see here.

The knowledge and skills required for using the obtained data, such as data analysis and image interpretation, differ depending on the specimen and the purpose of the experiment.

Training Categories

  1. Basic: Items related to procedures and safety. Guidance.
  2. Common: Common items necessary for using TEM/STEM.
  3. TEM: Items necessary for using TEM mode and electron diffraction mode.
  4. STEM: Items necessary for using STEM mode.
  5. Special: Special experiments.

Mandatory and Elective Skills

  • Mandatory skills: Skills required to operate the equipment safely and without causing trouble such as breakdowns.
  • Elective skills: Skills selected according to the specimen and the purpose of the experiment.

Stages of Training: “Taken” and “Mastered”

  • Taken: The stage at which an explanation of the contents has been received for each training item.
  • Mastered: The stage at which it has been confirmed that the contents of the training item can be performed without assistance from the staff.
