"Education...Not just training."
In the micro lab, there is a difference between learning how to push a button or turn a dial and developing the hand-eye-brain coordination which is so critical to good microscopy. That's the difference between routine training and the MME approach: Microscopy/Microscopy Education is dedicated to helping you build both a strong skills base as well as a clear understanding of how your microscope works and how to interpret the images it produces.
MME is America's first national consortium of microscopy experts specializing in customized, on-site courses. [Learn more]

...and the winners are...
MME has now completed the first ever Global AFM/STM study. Data from over 500 microscopists world-wide have provided an intriguing new profile of this important arena. We could not have done it without your support, so our thanks to you all!
As promised, we entered all completed surveys into 3 random drawings, each for a $350 cash prize. And the winners are... 1. For the Americas: Aaron Smith, Texas
A&M University, Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics 2. For Europe: Ruben
Malaga of Estonia 3. For Rest of World: Tomonobu Nakayama, NIMS, International Center
for Materials Nanoarchitecture, Japan. Congratulations to our winners and, again, our thanks to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in another valuable MME study.

Fluorescence Reference Slides
How evenly is your fluorescence illuminator filling your field of view? Is it centered? Are you monitoring the laser output and PMT settings for your confocal microscope?
FluorRef? fluorescence reference slides provide a quick easy-to-use solution. Made of durable plastic, they generate a continuous fluorescent field. No hunting for microspheres, no cellular photobleaching. [Read more...]
