This exclusive event is tailored for researchers in life sciences laboratories and academic centers who work with cells and tissues and rely on transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM/SEM).
Organized by Benelux Scientific and RMC Boeckeler, this one-day program introduces modern ultramicrotomy techniques that make precision sectioning simpler, more reliable, and easier to integrate into daily research workflows.
Alongside insights into sample preparation, participants will also experience how complementary imaging with the Phenom Pharos SEM + STEM sample holder can reveal structural details at remarkable resolution.
What you will gain
- A clear introduction to ultramicrotomy techniques and their relevance for cell and tissue research.
- A live demonstration of the ATUMtome, highlighting effortless, scalable serial sectioning.
- Insights into combining sample preparation with SEM/STEM imaging for high-quality results.
- Direct exchange with experts and peers in the life sciences community.
