NanoWorldMaps will become Europe’s leading distributed Research Infrastructure for Ultra-Fast 2D/3D Imaging in life and material sciences

NanoWorldMaps will enable Ultra-Fast and Extra-Large Area 2D/3D Imaging

NanoWorldMaps works on empowering Europe to lead the revolution in high-throughput multimodal imaging at the nanometre scale. NanoWorldMaps will become a distributed European Research Infrastructure to provide cutting-edge enabling technologies as a service:

  • Multi-Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy: mSEM technology to scan macroscopic objects on a nanometre scale. 3D imaging from staples of 2D images prepared by focused ion-beam or nanotome technology.

  • Nanoscale X-ray Imaging: 3D non-destructive X-ray microscopy (XRM) at nano-scaled resolution with synchrotron-like quality.

  • Correlative measurement chain: e.g. Secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) or Laser Ablation ICP-MS.

NanoWorldMaps services will be focused on the needs of scientists from academia and industry in a growing list of strategic application areas:
