TRANSMISSION AND SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY COURSE

September 25, 2025, 09.00 -14.00

This course will focus on the basic principles of transmission and scanning electron microscopes, sample preparation techniques and image analysis methods. At the end of the 1-day course participants will be informed about the basic principles of transmission and scanning electron microscopes and tissue sample preparation techniques. The course consists of theoretical lectures and onsite practical training with the microscopes.

THE NUMBER OF COURSE PARTICIPANTS IS LIMITED TO 12 GRADUATE STUDENTS.
