Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy for structural and functional characterization of materials. Sample preparation with conventional and advanced techniques. EDX and EELS complementary spectroscopy for compositional and chemical analysis. Image analysis and simulation.
EMJOY relies on the wide range of facilities available at IMM for the investigation of structural and functional properties of materials. Electrical measurements, optical microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction equipment, chemical laboratory, and Si-micromachining in clean-room area are available for design, fabrication and characterization of devices.
TEM specimen preparation of powders, fibers, and bulk samples in plan-view or cross-section geometry. TEM specimen preparation of polymeric materials using cryo ultramicrotomy. Preparation of site-specific TEM samples using Focused-ion Beam. Preparation of materials for in-situ TEM observation. Preparation of conventional SEM specimen.
our mission
EMJOY has been established between the CNR and the University of Bologna from the agreement signed on November the 7th 2019 by the President of CNR and the Rector of Bologna University
The CNR IMM Bologna Unit operates in the field of materials science and microelectronics. The central expertise of IMM is the study of materials and fabrication processes as well as design and realization of microelectronic integrated devices.
The UniBO Department of Chemistry "Giacomo Ciamician" has a strong vocation for the dissemination of knowledge of chemical disciplines and their central role in modern society at all levels, within the framework of sustainable and environmentally friendly development.
EMJOY is open to include additional UniBo Departments and CNR Institutes.
Let you be surprised by the possibilities that electron microscopy can offer
eMjoy the future

In occasione del ventennale della creazione dell’Istituto IMM, la sede centrale di Catania organizza il convegno annuale nei giorni 25-27 Ottobre 2021. Sono previste 11 sessioni parallele di presentazione delle attività di ricerca, un occasione importante di ritrovo per la comunità scientifica dell’Istituto.
Il 26 Ottobre 2021, la Presidente del CNR Maria Chiara Carrozza visiterà l’Area della Ricerca di Bologna. Durante la visita, la Presidente visiterà anche l’Istituto IMM e incontrerà il personale tecnico e scientifico. Il Direttore della Sede di Bologna, Vittorio Morandi, illustrerà le attività di ricerca e in particolare presenterà il laboratorio di microscopia elettronica…
Significativa partecipazione dei ricercatori IMM al convegno nazionale NanoInnovation 2021, organizzato dall’Università La Sapienza di Roma dal 21 al 24 Settembre. Vittorio Morandi, Regina Ciancio (IOM Trieste CNR) e Marco Rossi (Università La Sapienza di Roma) hanno moderato una tavola rotonda sulle prospettive della microscopia elettronica in ambito italiano.
