Electron Microscopy Course 2025
June 30 - July 4 | Braga, Portugal
Theoretical and practical training on imaging, spectroscopy and diffraction
An Immersive Week
The Electron Microscopy Course powered by INL presents a programme focused on developing a basic understanding of the principles and operation of electron microscopy techniques.
Five Days of Advanced Training
at INL’s State-of-the-Art Facilities
The Electron Microscopy and X-Rays (EMX) Facility is devoted to putting at the service of its users and customers cutting-edge instrumentation and expertise in the fields of electron microscopy and spectroscopy, X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-Rays diffraction/scattering.
The facility provides characterization in Physical Science and Life Sciences areas and offers training, technical support, and consultation to internal and external users (Universities, Research Centres and Companies).
