Electron microscopy plays a significant role in characterizing and evaluating materials to produce high-quality materials. CEMAS collaborates with industrial partners to leverage quantitative data to improve manufacturing processes and propel innovation, while guiding process development and providing an invaluable opportunity to capture mission critical insights through imaging and analysis for advancement of high-performance materials designed to perform in extreme environments. 

• CEMAS houses one of the largest concentrations of electron microscopy instruments in any North American institution, exceeding $40 million in equipment. 
• We offer a full-service, expertly designed environment for industry partners to execute their entire microscopy analysis programs – from extensive sample preparation to image processing tools complemented by expert staff support.
• Expert level staff is composed almost entirely of PhD level scientists that span engineering, physics and life science backgrounds. CEMAS is here to work with industrial collaborators and to help develop workflows to answer your questions.
• Real-time remote viewing allows industrial researchers an opportunity to observe our instruments in full resolution from any high-speed internet enabled device and collaborate with CEMAS’ expert staff in real time to ensure accurate and efficient data collection. 
• Samples can be shipped to CEMAS, reducing the need for travel and providing significant cost savings. 

Not only does CEMAS enable industrial partners to "see more" than ever before, but the infrastructure also allows results to be achieved more quickly. Multiple factors contribute to CEMAS’s efficiency, perhaps most critical is the fact that all instruments meet or exceed the manufacturer specifications for resolution and performance, sometimes by a factor of 2-3 times. 

CEMAS houses some of the most advanced analytical electron microscopy equipment available, providing a game-changing approach to how collaborations function and opening new pathways for large amounts of data that can be used in predictive models and decision-making processes, as well as providing significant cost benefits.

CEMAS provides researchers and companies a cost-effective route to gather critical information for the most informed decision making.

Listed below are some industrial sectors CEMAS has excelled in, but our expert staff is always looking to push new boundaries, so if you do not see your specific need listed, please reach out to explore what is possible with CEMAS.
