MMC 2021
This year the MMC 2021 conference will be held online. The events covers a wide range of microscopy and imaging topics, including AFM, SPM, X-ray microscopy, electron microscopy and other imaging techniques. MMC also encompasses EMAG 2021, organised by the Institute of Physics’ Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group.
The event will include:
- International scientific conference (6 – 8 July) of six parallel streams
- Virtual exhibition (6 – 8 July) – Free to attend
- Online workshops (5 – 9 July) – Free to attend
- Live demos from Thermo Scientific and Gatan – Free to attend
Follow BlueScientific on Linked In or Twitter for more updates about the conference and what we have planned!
Visit our Booth
The virtual exhibition is free to attend. Companies related to microscopy and imaging will showcase their latest equipment.
We’ll have a virtual booth, with videos and information about our instruments for microscopy. Throughout the conference, our team and applications and product specialists from our partners will be available for online chat and virtual meetings.
Conference Programme
As well as the exhibition, there’s an online scientific conference with six parallel streams, consisting of 36 sessions about various areas of microscopy.
Recordings of the conference sessions will be available to all registered delegates for a few weeks after the event – so a unique feature of the virtual conference is you can now watch all sessions you want to attend, even if there’s a clash in the timetable!
Details of invited speakers and session titles are available now on the MMC 2021 website, as well as an overview of the programme.

Live Demos
Thermo Scientific will be running live, online demos at MMC 2021 on 7th, 8th and 9th July. See these systems in action:
Phenom Pharos Desktop FEG-SEM
Tuesday 6th July 6, 11am BST
Wednesday, 7th July, 9am BST
Thursday 8th July, 3pm BST
Do you need the performance of a field emission (FEG) SEM, but have limited space, limited time to wait for sample loading, and no capacity to train all users? Join Thermo Scientific for a demo of the Phenom Pharos G2 Desktop FEG-SEM:
- FEG-level performance is now more accessible than ever
- Outstanding image quality from a tabletop SEM
- Load samples just 30 seconds
Axia ChemiSEM
Tuesday 6th July 6, 12 midday BST
Wednesday 7th July, 4pm BST
Thursday 8th July, 10am BST
The Thermo Scientific Axia ChemiSEM is a SEM for large samples, high throughput and fast routine analysis. The demo will show how to examine large, heavy samples without cutting or extensive sample preparation, as well as innovative features for high throughput.
Phenom XL
Tuesday 6th July, 3pm BST
Wednesday 7th July, 2pm BST
Thursday 8th July 8, 1pm BST
The Thermo Scientific Phenom XL G2 is a desktop SEM for automated quality control, providing accurate, reproducible results to free up time for value-added work. Meet quality standards with an intuitive, automated solution that eliminates manual, repetitive tasks.
- Discover failures early and rapidly adjust production processes.
- Automate quality control for high-throughput and less human error.
- Full-screen images .
- Average time-to image of 60 seconds.
- Long lifetime, low maintenance CeB6 electron source.
- Small footprint.
Gatan: Systems for Electron Microscopes
Our partners Gatan are offering online demos:
- GIF Continuum
Next-generation of advanced systems for EELS & EFTEM. - In-situ capabilities
High-sensitivity, large pixel count detector for in-situ studies. - Stela with 4D STEM
The only fully integrated hybrid-pixel electron detector for advanced electron diffraction studies.

Book a one-to-one
Dr. Stefan Schwarzmueller, product specialist in industrial electron microscopy at Thermo Scientific will be available for one-to-one online meetings throughout MMC 2021 (5-9th July 2021). Book a slot here:
Registration
Register for MMC 2021 on the conference website. This year registration fees have been set as low as possible for the first ever virtual version of the event. Attendance is welcome from delegates worldwide, and it’s hoped that the virtual aspect will enable people to attend who may not have been able to travel to the physical event. There are special rates for students and RMS/EMAG members.
Registration for just the exhibition (without the conference talks) is free of charge.
Instruments for Microscopy
We offer a range of instruments for microscopy in the UK, Ireland and Nordic region. We’re the official distributor for these ranges, offering advice and guidance on which system would work best for you, as well as service and support from factory-trained engineers.
Entry-level SEM
Meet the new Axia ChemiSEM and Phenom from our new partner Thermo Scientific! They’re designed to make SEM easier to use and accessible to everyone, with best-in-class resolution and speed.
AFM
We offer the full range of Bruker Nano Surface Analysis instruments, including AFM, 3D optical microscopy, stylus profilers, tribometers and in-situ nanomechanical testing.
Instruments for Electron Microscopes
The Gatan range includes cameras, imaging systems, cryo-EM, filters, sample preparation systems and specimen holders.
O-PTIR
A pioneering technique from Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp. Optical Photothermal IR overcomes the limits of infrared, with sub-micron spatial resolution in reflection mode, without the contact limitations of ATR.
Micro-XRF
Element mapping and analysis from Bruker, on virtually any sample – even liquids, organic samples and irregular shapes.
Micro-CT
Also known as X-Ray Microscopy, Bruker micro-CT gives you a look inside objects. Take virtual cuts and flights through materials and analyse their internal microstructure.
nanoSIMS
Surface microanalysis from CAMECA (part of AMETEK). The most sensitive elemental and isotopic surface microanalysis technique. Dynamic SIMS mode enables you to analyse bulk composition and in-depth distribution of trace elements.
APT (Atom Probe Tomography)
Atom Probe Tomography (APT) from CAMECA is the only materials analysis technique offering extensive capabilities for both 3D imaging and chemical composition measurement at the atomic scale.
