The seminar is an introduction to the basic operation of a scanning electron microscope. The basic operating principles will be covered and the attendees will be trained on the use of the microscope.

This is a modern scanning electron microscope with several advanced features: low pressure chamber, computer controlled positioning stage.   The SEM is equipped with an energy dispersive spectroscopy system for elemental analysis.  Attendees will also be familiarized with the operation and capabilities of the EDS system. Attendees are encouraged to bring samples for exploration.
