Poster of the EM course in Naples with marine samples. The Electron Microscopy Hands-On Course: sample preparation and imaging of marine environmental samples arises from a very strong and active collaboration between the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn and the EMBL in Heidelberg. The aim of the course is to provide a theoretical and practical training on electron microscopy starting from the basics to the preparation of samples with high pressure freezing and image acquisition using TEM and SEM.
If you are interested in electron microscopy, registration is still open for the
"Electron Microscopy Hands-On Course: sample preparation and imaging of marine environmental samples"
at Stazione Zoologica in Naples.
WIth great teachers from Naples […]
