What would you view
with a scanning electron microscope?
Do you or your students have a great idea for research that requires microscopic investigations?
We are working with the Royal Microscopical Society, Hitachi High Technologies, the Gauntlet Trust, the Quekett Microscopial Club, Tonbridge School and Oxford Instruments to offer two portable scanning electron microscopes (SEM) to UK schools with bright ideas for innovative research.
This could be for a small group of students or an individual who needs a SEM for their project, perhaps even as part of their Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). Schools that submit the best research proposals will be awarded the instrument on loan for up to half a term.
Applications are now open, with more information for eligible schools/colleges available on our resource centre.
If you are interested in using the SEM and have any questions, contact us on info@researchinschools.org.
