<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">The Microscopy and Imaging Center (MIC) of Texas A&M University (TAMU) will be conducting a 3 days’ workshop on the application of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in different research fields
on June 10-12, 2019. </span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">The workshop will comprise of several lectures covering application of cryo techniques for different biological specimen and soft matter, usage of SEM in the field of medical research, nanotechnology,
geochemistry, mineralogy, thermofluid study, environmental engineering and water purification. Lectures from application specialists from Leica, Thermofisher, Tescan, Zeiss, Hitachi and Ametek will highlight the latest technological developments in cryo SEM,
cryo-FIB, Serial Block Face SEM and high resolution SEM. There will be hands-on training for sample preparation, imaging using the different SEMs at MIC. A short session for computational image analysis of datasets from cryo-FIB/Serial Block Face SEM will
be conducted. We have a very limited number of seats for the hands-on practical session. Therefore we will encourage to register for the workshop at the earliest.</span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
