<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:white">Organised by the Royal Microscopical Society together with The Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, this lecture series will focus on applied electron microscopy for the characterization of hydrated samples
(hydrogels, colloids, hydrated polymers, polymer-peptide hybrids, scaffolds for cell culture evaluations) using cryo-preservation and characterization of materials in their pristine/life-like state. Several techniques that have been well established in life
sciences research will be presented in the context of materials science. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
