(date TBD)
July 13-15, 2011, Wednesday-Friday
Keller Hall 3-180 (first floor)
U of MN, Minneapolis East Bank Campus
Offered by IPrime's Nanostructural Materials and Processes Program
Coordinator: Professor and NMP Program Leader Alon McCormick
Description
This short course will enable industrial and academic scientists and engineers, with no prior knowledge of electron microscopy, to gain insight into cryo-techniques to image nanostructures in liquids, soft materials, and biological systems.
After attending the course you will be better able to assess what experiments are feasible for samples of interest to you, and to estimate the benefits and costs of these approaches.
Course brochure - please distribute.
