Sample Preparation

Training

User training for our various analytical instrument takes place through a number of MSU courses offered through the department. These include:

MSE 451 X-ray Crystallography

MSE 870 Electron Microscopy (TEM)

MSE 965B Advanced Techniques in Electron Microscopy

In addition to formalized course training, individual training can be arrange with our technical staff. This is particularly useful for researcher needing assistance with either scanning electron microscopy or sample preparation.
