What would you view
with a scanning electron microscope?
Have a great idea for research which requires microscopic investigations?
We are working with Hitachi High-Tech, Oxford Instruments, the Natural History Museum, the Royal Microscopical Society and Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in Kent to offer a portable scanning electron microscope (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).
To be eligible, you must:
- Be an IRIS school. If you are not already, you can join today.
- Complete the following application.

Find the following inspiration and support from our partners. Need more? Hitachi’s twitter feed is overflowing with microscope images and insight #Hitachi_STEM.
