Illuminating Discovery Hub – Crossroads of Ideas

Wisconsin Institute for Discovery Building 330 North Orchard Street, Madison

Local electrode atom probe (LEAP) is a novel analysis technique combining both 3D imaging and precise atomic-scale chemical composition measurements. Exclusively developed by CAMECA, the atom probe is a prime example of Wisconsin innovation and discovery. Dr Katherine Rice, Applications Lab Manager at CAMECA Instruments, will share an introduction to this technology, some of the fun applications of LEAP, and the way UW–Madison and Wisconsin played a pivotal role.

Crossroads of Ideas: Democratizing Data
