Technical Training
Regarding technology training courses
At the Ultramicroscopy Research Center of Kyushu University, training courses on electron microscope technology are held to raise the level of education and research of joint users, and to promote smooth operation.
Sponsorship
the Ultramicroscopy Research Center of Kyushu University, The Forum for Advanced Electron Microscopy, Ultra-Micro Analysis User Facility Center for Nanomaterials Development
Courses are provided for:
- Students and faculty members of Kyushu University
- Members of the Forum for Advanced Electron Microscopy (mainly technicians and researchers from outside the university and from corporations)
- Users of the Advanced Characterization Nanotechnology Platform
Persons other than the above from outside the university are accepted within the scope where that is possible (a fee is charged; please inquire)
*These training courses are for URC users, and top priority is given to students and faculty members engaged in research projects who have applied to use the electron microscopes at URC.
