MIDSEM 2015 – Midlands SEM Users Meeting
MIDSEM 2015 is set to be an interesting and informative day for those interested in SEM. Topics will cover SEM and FIBSEM, including both materials science and life sciences. The scientific conference features:
- Programme of talks from invited speakers – see full programme below.
- Trade forum where you can discover new electron microscopy applications.
- Trade exhibition with major companies involved in electron microscopy, analysis, service and consumables.
- Free buffet lunch for all delegates.
Book an In-Situ SEM Demo
In conjunction with the conference we’re running personal in-situ SEM demonstrations. Bring your own samples, try the instruments for yourself and get a feel for what the technology can do. Advance booking is required – click here for further details.
