AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering the nanoscale world with electron microscopes
Associate Professor Yamamoto belongs to the Faculty of Engineering at Kyushu University and concurrently serves at the Ultramicroscopy Research Center.
The professor works on analyzing images taken with electron microscopes and observing catalyst materials.
The Ultramicroscopy Research Center is a shared-use facility at Kyushu University, equipped with fundamental and advanced instruments related to electron microscopy.
Through various support programs, it offers opportunities to use its instruments not only to faculty, staff, and students within the university but also to people outside it.
Key terms
- Electron microscope
- A device that uses electrons instead of light to magnify and observe very small objects
- Deep learning
- A machine learning method in which a computer learns features on its own from large amounts of data
- In situ observation
- Observing a sample while it is being changed, at the same time as the change takes place
