Microfluidic devices can enable “labs on chips” that consume less reagents and have faster analysis times than similar experiments performed in a traditional lab environment.  Applications of microfluidic devices include portable sensors for point-of-care analysis, molecular and cell biology studies, and high-throughput multiplexed assays.  This short course will introduce the… Read More

GIMP is an open source image manipulation software that can be used for editing figures, colorizing electron micrographs, and more! In this workshop, we will learn the basics of the interface, specifically techniques for adding false color to an SEM image. February 16, 2022 | Engineering Science Building… Read More

Electron microscopy is a critical component for the characterization of material and biological specimens at the nanoscale. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) both use electron beams to reveal structure, but in very different ways. Although these instruments have been made very accessible with the… Read More
