The Nano Imaging Lab offers a comprehensive imaging service.
We choose the most suitable examination method.
For different questions, we have different analytical methods.
Our laboratory is excellently equipped with various microscopes.
We work closely together with our customers.
An atomic force microscope can be used to image individual atoms.
Using cryo-electron microscopy, biological samples can also be visualized in great detail.
Depending on the sample and the desired analysis, we prepare the samples.
Using EDX, we also perform chemical analyses.
The Nanofabrication Lab team supports its customers in all matters.
Much of the work in the Nano Fabrication Lab takes place in the clean room.
In the Nano Fabrication Lab, materials and devices can be structured at the micro and nano scale.
Various lithography, deposition, etching and post-processing systems are available in the NF Lab.
Good sample preparation is important for analysis.
Services
The SNI offers imaging and nanofabrication services and advice for research groups in the SNI network and for external partners. The Nano Imaging Lab (NI Lab) was set up in 2016 for this very purpose. In 2022, the Nano Fabrication was founded. Together the Nano Imaging Lab (NI Lab) and the Nano Fabrication Lab (NF Lab) form the Nano Technology Center of the SNI.
The Nano Imagin Lab encompasses part of the former Microscopy Center and the NanoTech Service Lab. It offers its clients various microscopes for detailed sample imaging, harnessing its employees’ decades of experience to produce precise analyses.
At the Nano Fabrication Lab, the technical equipment needed for nanofabrication is brought together from various working groups at the Department of Physics of the University of Basel. The existing clean room is part of the Nano Fabrication Lab, as will the clean room that the University of Basel plans to rent in the new building of the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) of ETH Zurich in Basel.
The SNI also offers various technology services for internal and external partners from science and industry. The technology department and the electronics and mechanical workshops in the Department of Physics (University of Basel) have excellent facilities and highly trained staff who consistently find creative solutions to a wide range of tasks and problems.
The SNI also has a clean room that our partners may reserve.
"We offer excellently equipped service and support facilities to internal and external customers."
