Figure Lengend Snippet: Transmission electron microscopy facilities and relevant instrumentation, of which laboratory design and construction are discussed in the literature in dedicated articles or sections of articles. Here, details about the design of both building and laboratory hosting advanced TEM/STEM instrumentation are synoptically reported, together with the main characteristics of the instrumentation.
