First freelance SciComm gig to a full house in Blackpool hearing me talk about rocks!

Happy May the 4th everyone! Scopey, our nmRC Jedi Archivist, has been looking through our past imaging and found this SEM image to celebrate. Enjoy this Calcium Iron Oxide microsphere imaged by Dr Luke Woodliffe using the @jeoleurope.bsky.social 7000F SEM. Remind you of anything...?

Finally, to close the first session, @lukethechemist.bsky.social spoke to us about Polymer Characterisation at the NMRC here at UoN @uonnmrc.bsky.social

Under the Microscope is powering up! Thanks to @jeoleurope.bsky.social for their support of our public engagement initiative as it enters its third year! #publicengagement #electronmicroscopy #UndertheMicroscope #PoweredbyJEOL

📢 Do you work in Electron Microscopy in the Midlands? Come and join us at the MI Electron Microscopy Network Conference 2025! 📢 📅 Date/Time: Tuesday 15th April, 2025 (09:15 - 16:45) 📍 Location: Cranfield University (Cranfield Microscopy Services) 🌐 Registration link: lnkd.in/evdhHKjJ

🌹 Roses are red, but zoom in and see, beauty exists at the micron degree! 🔬 Imaging was performed by Electron Microscope Technician Lorelei Robertson using the @jeoleurope.bsky.social IT-200 SEM.

🌟What a way to celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science - with electron microscopy outreach! 🔬 The Under the Microscope LIVE team were proud to be part of the Nottinghamshire Festival of Science and Curiosity today at the Council House, inspiring the next generation of scientists!

🦖 Electron Microscopy....65 million years in the making! 🦖

Face off at the Nanoscale! 🏒🔬 Our first #UndertheMicroscope of 2025 takes a cool look at an ice hockey puck and stick, generously donated by the Nottingham Panthers!

🦕 #ElectronMicroscopy ...uh...finds a way! 🦕 We are getting ready for our first #UndertheMicroscopeLIVE session with South Nottinghamshire Academy. One suggestion was a shark tooth, however, we hope they will be just as excited for a 65 million year old fossilised Mosasaur tooth!

🌸 Spring Has Sprung at the nmRC! 🌸 It might be frosty outside, but we’re embracing the spirit of Spring here with some exciting news—our work is featured in the Spring edition of @vittaeducation.bsky.social Magazine! 👉 Read the article below and explore the full magazine here: lnkd.in/gUAu9RZV

🔭 Instrument Introduction: FEI Quanta 650 Environmental SEM (ESEM) 🔭 We’re starting our instrument introductions with one of our most versatile scanning electron microscopes: the Q650 ESEM!

Happy New Year from the Nanoscale and Microscale Research Centre! Here's what to expect from us in 2025...

This year, we’re delighted to be supporting the Hope Foodbank Nottingham with our ‘Microscopy Marvels’ desk calendars. Available for purchase at our centre for a £5 donation!

🍊 It's the start of a new week and day 2 of the nmRC #ElectronMicroscopy Advent Calendar! 🍊 Did you enjoy yesterday's glittery bauble imaging? Well today’s imaging is zesty, textured, and full of festive vibes—but what could it be? 👀 Reveal door 2 here: lnkd.in/eMHB5dUQ #nmRCAdventCalendar

🎄 Welcome to Day 1 of the nmRC Electron Microscopy Advent Calendar! 🎄 We’re starting the countdown to Christmas with something shiny, spherical, and oh-so-seasonal—captured in stunning nanoscale detail. Any guesses what it could be? 👀 Open the door here: lnkd.in/eMHB5dUQ #nmRCAdventCalendar

Makes me smile that we managed to create our own #underthemicroscope Artbook and it’s been so well received. I see so many visitors or Centre users rifling through it. #electronmicroscopy is just so naturally aesthetic!

🎄✨ Introducing the nmRC ELECTRON MICROSCOPY ADVENT CALENDAR 2024! ✨🎄 This December, we’re bringing you a festive countdown of #electronmicroscopy images! From Christmas foods to winter pollens, see a hidden microscopic world! 🎁 Explore the calendar here: lnkd.in/eMHB5dUQ
