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

Summer -2012, Hitachi Inc.
loaned the UW-MRSEC education group a table-top scanning electron microscope for use during education and outreach activities.
13 fifth-graders synthesized ZnO nanoparticles then used the SEM to examine their particles.
A summary of the activity including photographs were used by Hitachi used for an article about the SEM which they published in the Japanese version of the Wall Street Journal.

14 Universities now provide outreach using Scanning Electron Microscopes through the National Science Foundation. 27,000 individuals were reached through this program in 2011.

Offering teacher support related to scanning electron microscopy.
Are you looking for information and don't have the time to do the research.....Please let me know. I'm pretty good at finding information and would be glad to help a teacher who needs support. I will limit information I look for to issues relating to scanning electron microscopy and it's applications to your school.
