ELMINA2026 – Conference on Electron Microscopy of Nanostructures
The 4th Conference on Electron Microscopy of Nanostructures (ELMINA2026) will take place on 7–11 September 2026 in Belgrade, organized by the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, the Society for Microstructural and Nanostructural Research of Serbia. This event brings together researchers working at the intersection of electron microscopy, nanoscience, nanotechnology and advanced materials characterization.
ELMINA2026 covers microstructural characterization techniques as advanced SEM and TEM/STEM, electron diffraction, HRTEM, analytical microscopy (EDS/EELS), in-situ microscopy, cryo-microscopy, 4D-STEM, AI-assisted analysis and emerging instrumentation.
Thin-film deposition techniques are also addressed in this event as sputtering for various applications including battery anodes, supercapacitors, and electrocatalysts, in which thin films of materials where fabricated through magnetron sputtering, DC reactive sputtering, and co-sputtering, highlighting innovative electron microscopy techniques for imaging the resulting nanostructures.
Vac Coat Ltd. is a pioneer in manufacturing vacuum coating machines for sample preparation for electron microscopy, including sputter coaters, carbon coaters, and thermal evaporators; as well as versatile deposition systems that enable thin film growth by various techniques like DC or RF sputtering, reactive sputtering, co-deposition (such as co-sputtering or co-evaporation), and deliver numerous customized features to empower innovation.
