Victoria, BC – What the University of Victoria says is the world’s most powerful microscope – which resides in a specially constructed room at the university – has been fully assembled and tested, and is ready for scientific research.
The seven-tonne, 4.5-metre tall scanning transmission electron holography microscope (STEHM), the first such microscope of its type in the world, came to the university in parts last year. A team from Hitachi, which constructed the ultra high-resolution, ultra-stable instrument, spent one year painstakingly assembling the STEHM in a carefully controlled lab in the university’s Bob Wright Centre.
The wait was worth it, says Rodney Herring, a professor of mechanical engineering and director of UVic’s Advanced Microscopy Facility.
