Electron Microscopy Building

State-of-the-art electron microscopy requires a disturbance-free environment. In particular, electro-magnetic stray-fields, vibrations, temperature variations, noise, and air flow have to be minimized. In the heart of Berlin's City West, this is a true challenge and can only be achieved with a specially constructed building. This building is located on the northern TU Campus. Here are a few facts:

• 700 m² ground floor
• 580 m² effective area
• house-in-house construction
• 4 identical electron microscope rooms
• temperature stability better than 0.1°C / 30 min in all four microscope rooms and in the microscope periphery space
• extremely quiet air condition with a slow air flow velocity
• very low electro-magnetic stray-fields
• very low vibrations due to special construction of the foundation
• inauguration in October 2011.
