Pictured above are Museum staff member Don Salvatore and students at one of the Museum's SEM seminars.
A powerful scientific tool used in universities and industry, the Scanning Electron Microscope is now available to high school students in an introductory program.
Using the SEM, students are able to study objects more closely than would be possible with a conventional light microscope. Students will learn to prepare samples for and operate the SEM. Upon completion of the program, students will leave with a photograph of the sample they prepared.
