WELCOME

Welcome to the High School Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Blog sponsored by the Microscopy Society of America extending outreach to 7-12 grade teachers interested in connecting with professional microscopists and incorporating real world scanning electron microscopy tools into their curriculum's.

Out of more than 26,000 high schools in the United States, there are currently fifteen middle and high school campuses hosting SEMs on-site. A list of these schools, teacher experiences and related resources are available to all teachers through the Web-Site www.hssemgroup.com.

This blog is intended to provide a communication network between teachers and professional microscpists to answer questions, and to provide direction, exosure and support wherever needed. We look forward to communicating with you often.

This site is an extension of the group HS_SEM@googlegroups.com (old posting available on this site) and the web-site https://sites.google.com/site/hssemgroup/

New: What is it made of ? using SEM and EDS images and spectra

Available to all:
The NUANCE Center at Northwestern University is going to be producing a new web series called "What's It Made Of?" It will be a short, semi-educational show mainly featuring SEM and EDS to examine normal, everyday objects. We'd love to use this as a fun educational outreach to show the uninitiated the types of things that we can do in the world of electron microscopy. So please share with all your friends and whoever.

The first episode has been posted and examines the sparkly ink on the $20 bill.  http://youtu.be/z3qHg1QOAk4
