Purpose

FIRST Tonomura Project aims at developing a 1.2 MV holography electron microscope capable of observing quantum phenomena in the microscopic world. This electron microscope is expected to contribute not only to the progress of cutting-edge advancements in materials science, life science and environmental technologies but also to contribute to the development of the fundamental science by opening up a new field in the quantum world. These targets will be discussed by distinguished scientists from all over the world including Nobel laureates Chen Ning Yang, Anthony J. Leggett, and Makoto Kobayashi, and to explore new fields of science and technology based on quantum effects. The symposium is open to the public as a part of an outreach activity. The symposium also aims at expanding activities of electron microscopy community and quantum science community especially among young scientists and engineers.
