Learning outcomes
Students should learn the basic differences between transmission and scanning electron microscopes and the technique of digital image recording in TEM and SEM, image processing and archiving of image data sets. Students also should get theoretical knowledge of biological sample preparation for TEM and SEM and also pass through some practical training in preparation of selected samples for electron microscopy.
