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).
Applications will open again in the Spring Term 2024 – check the IRIS Resource Centre for further information.
