Electron microscope building, Linköping

Tham & Videgård Arkitekter_Elektronmikroskophus_3T&V have designed a new building at the Linköping University to house an electron microscope that will be installed at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology.The world unique instrument is extremely sensitive to vibrations, sound and electromagnetic fields, which is why a new separate building was needed. It’s primarily the research department of Material Physics that will benefit from the new microscope, but also visiting foreign researchers.

Building permission was granted in december 2010, completion is planned for late 2011.
