During the fall of 2008, EM UNIT would like to invite all Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) users and all other interested parties to our workshop, a review of new tools, a comprehensive approach to applications, support and training to make life easier for everyone in the EM lab.

With these events, we like to open a dialog with the users of TEM, discuss their needs and requests, and demonstrate latest improvements, features and capabilities of TEM techniques.

We will provide an introduction to each topic, followed by interactive presentations and hands-on training at the TEM (if available).

 

We are looking forward to meeting you.

If you have any questions concerning course subjects, directions or accommodations, please don't hesitate to contact us:
