Congratulations to Nadezda Varkentina, Yves Auad and co-authors who have received the EMS OPA 2022 Instrumentation and Technique Development prize for their work entitled “Cathodoluminescence excitation spectroscopy: Nanoscale imaging of excitation pathways”. It shows the interest and excitement of the electron spectroscopy and microscopy community with this new technique and with experiment using event-based direct electron detectors. For more information check the highlight on Cathodoluminescence Excitation Spectroscopy.
The European microscopy society announcement:
The Executive Board of the European Microscopy Society (EMS) has an annual EMS “Outstanding Paper Award“. The award goes to papers containing original work in the field of microscopy which will be judged on scientific merit, technical and general quality, expected impact, originality, and relevance to microscopy. Each year it is intended that one paper will be chosen in each of the categories of (i) Instrumentation and Technique Development, (ii) Materials Sciences and (iii) Life Sciences. The prize consists of 1000 (one thousand) Euro plus a plaque for the first author (per awarded paper) in each category and printed awards for all authors.
For 2022, there were in total 17 papers nominated, divided in the three categories as follows:
Instrumentation and Technique Development: 6
Materials Sciences: 6
Life Sciences: 5
The winners of the European Microscopy Outstanding Paper Awards for papers published in 2022 are:
