This grant application targets the purchase of an ultra-microtome and hardness tester, two research tools indispensable in (bio)materals research. Ultra-microtomy is a specimen-preparation technique to prepare semi/ultra-thin sections and smooth surfaces for high-resolution microscopy, including atomic-force (AFM), scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This device perfectly complements the recently awarded medium-scale ...
