The Center for Research, Technology, and Innovation<\/strong> at the University of Seville<\/a> (CITIUS<\/a>) provides functional and instrumental support for research, technology, and innovation activities. It offers integrated solutions to real-world problems. It provides results from highly complex tests, makes high-performance facilities available to users, manages and coordinates research and innovation projects with companies, offers specialized courses, conducts scientific outreach, and much more. <\/p>\n\n

The University of Seville<\/a> established CITIUS in 2004 as a way to optimize the operations of its General Research Services, as part of a comprehensive strategy to strengthen the science-technology-business system.<\/p>\n\n

CITIUS<\/a> is, therefore, one of the key players in the University of Seville\u2019s<\/a> R&D&I efforts, providing support to the University itself, other public research organizations (OPIs), and companies. It provides access to state-of-the-art scientific and technological equipment. <\/p>\n\n

Within the Analysis and Testing department, it offers various services, including microscopy. It is a fundamental characterization tool in fields ranging from Materials Science and Engineering to Biology, as well as Archaeology, Pharmacy, Chemistry, and Medicine, among many others. <\/p>\n\n

To this end, it has two laboratories equipped with the necessary equipment for preparing both organic and inorganic samples, as well as a wide range of microscopes employing various electron microscopy techniques (transmission, scanning, FIB, analytical techniques, etc.), optical microscopy (confocal, epifluorescence, interferometric), and atomic force microscopy (AFM\/STM), making it, overall, one of the best-equipped facilities in Spain.<\/p>\n\n

To complement all the microscopy technologies it already has, the university decided to partner with \u00c1lava Ingenieros<\/a> and purchased a Raman microscope<\/strong>, a device for characterizing particles. Its main advantage is that it is a highly automated device, capable of taking measurements much faster than similar equipment. In this case, given its versatility, it will serve all researchers at the university. <\/p>\n\n
