Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) laboratory uses the Explorer Model microscope by Thermomicroscopes, USA. This device helps us to get 3D information about the sufaces of materials studied. The image is composed by point after point detecting the movements of the measuring tip. The method is non-contact, the sample and tip are in interatomic interaction (van der Waals forces).

Precession electron diffraction is a new method that allows for the determination of crystal structure of microcrystals from electron diffraction data. It is different from the standard electron diffraction in that the beam is not stationary, but precesses along a cone, and this precessing motion has the effect of partially suppressing the dynamical effects in diffracted intensities.
