Education and Trainining
SEM Short CourseJune 16-20, 2008 This SEM course is required to operate the SEMs in USIF. Passing a practical examination on an instrument before they will be allowed access to schedule time on the instruments. |
Training regarding any aspect of spectroscopy and microscopy is available. We will provide you with hands-on training to operate and optimize the systems for the type of samples that you will be working with through classes and workshops. See the Announcements section for upcoming events.| CONTACT |
- Information about new techniques, instrumentation and applications of electron microscopy is provided through USIF sponsored workshops and seminars. All events are open to investigators in academia, private and public institutions and industry. | CONTACT |
