FIB & Prep 2020 User Group Meeting

The UK FIB & Prep User Group is  an open forum for FIB users and all users of specimen preparation equipment for microscopes. The group exists so that members can share technique advances, discuss best practices, present experimental and theoretical findings/discoveries, exchange tips for preparation of difficult materials, 2D and 3D analysis of challenging data sets and learn about new developments in both instrumentation and techniques.

With increasingly fast development of FIB systems and sample preparation equipment in line and an increasing number of such equipment available worldwide, the Group’s talks on the cutting edge of current technology development and its wide range of applications from  experts and researchers will bring fresh insights to participants.

This Group Meeting has been held annually in Manchester since 2013 in workshop format where attendees have a chance to chat with manufacturers and experts in the ‘Round table’ discussion.
