SCIENTIST USES THE JEOL 4000 EX DEDUCTED HIGH RESOLUTION TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPE AT THE HTML. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS LABORATORY (HTML) BEING CONSTRUCTED AT DOE'S OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY WILL SERVE AS THE FOCAL POINT FOR A MULTIDISCIPLINARY STAFF INVESTIGATING CERAMICS WHICH HAVE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH- TEMPERATURE STRUCTURAL APPLICATION, SUCH AS IN ADVANCED DIESEL ENGINES, TURBINE BLADES, AND OTHER TRANSPORTATION AND ENERGY GENERATION SYSTEMS. IT WILL CONTAIN STATE-OF-THE- ART EQUIPMENT FOR CORRELATING THE MICROCHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS WITH THEIR PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. THE TWO-LEVEL, 64,500 SQUARE-FOOT HTML WILL ALSO FUNCTION AS A USER FACILITY FOR INDUSTRIAL AND UNIVERSITY RESEARCH COMMUNITIES. OF THE 49 LABORATORIES IN THE HTML, 13 WILL COMPRISE USER CENTERS FOR ELECTRON OPTICS, HIGH-TEMPERATURE X-RAY DIFFRACTION, PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH, DR. LARRY ALLARD, SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST IN THE HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS LABORATORY OF OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY, INVESTIGATES THE ATOMIC STRUCTURE OF A STRUCTURAL CERAMIC MATERIAL USING THE ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGING CAPABILITIES OF THE JEOL 4000EX DEDUCTED HIGH RESOLUTION TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPE.
