 A Course in the theory, fundamental operating principles, and specimen preparation             techniques of the transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron 
microscopy (SEM) is offered every year in the Fall semester. An accompanying laboratory course is offered in the Fall semester and on-demand in the spring semester. 

The course is available to graduate students and upper level undergraduates and is 
co-taught by Drs. Mark Farmer, John Shields, and Buddy Steffens. 

The EM course is offered through the Division of Biological Sciences of the University
and covers the use of the instruments, specimen preparation, ultramicrotome and 
basic techniques needed to prepare biological and non-biological samples for electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysers. Training is also available on an individual basis for technicians and staff wishing to explore specific problems in electron microscopy.
