Closing Remarks
TEM IN BRIEF?
SPEQTEM (Spectroscopic Quantum TEM) is an advanced
microscope equipped with a monochromator, energy
filter, and attachments for electron beam shaping and
quantum
control.
addition
enabling
atomic
resolution imaging of materials, it also facilitates the
study
coherent
excitation
internal
electromagnetic fields.
This microscope was acquired through funding from
IEntrance, NQSTI, Smart Electron, and Impress projects.
Its goal is to become a leading centre for spectroscopy
and quantum-based microscopy.
The microscope is designed for two main purposes:
Serving as part of the IEntrance Infrastructure for
energy
high-resolution
spectroscopy
characterization and methods;
Providing a platform for innovative quantum electron
optics experiments in collaboration with Thermo
Fisher and academic partners.

TEM GROUP @MODENA
The TEM Microscopy group of Modena is a joint centre
that involves CNR Nano and the FIM Department of
UNIMORE, and has a long-standing collaboration with the
Unimore CIGS Instrument Centre. The group’s strengths
lie in the AI control/automation of the microscope, the
measurement of electromagnetic fields in materials,
quantum-inspired microscopy and spectroscopy.
The group has steadily grown, attracting scientists and
fostering new talents, becoming one of the largest
aggregations of microscopy expertise in Italy. It has
gained
international
recognition
thanks
participation in and coordination of major EU projects,
as well as to the conferring of the Ernst Ruska Prize, the
main European award in electron microscopy, to Dr.
Grillo and the group.?
