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...?

🎉Our final reveal for today! Congratulations to our final shortlist for the Institute Award itself - Neil Walker from Lakeside Arts, Barry Shaw from Life Sciences, Sally Schofield from @uonnmrc.bsky.social and Vicky Brotherton from @rightslab.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

There is still time to sign up to our fantastic event! Spaces are booking up quickly!

New paper out from University College Dublin on the properties of supported bimetallic nanoparticles for potential applications within biorefining facilities - with TEM provided by the @uonnmrc.bsky.social at the University of Nottingham chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

🌹 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! 🦖

🌕🐍 Happy #LunarNewYear 2025 – Year of the Snake! 🐍🌕 To celebrate, the team explored the microstructures of adder skin and fangs using the FEI Quanta 650 and JEOL 6060 SEMs. Nicola Weston and Dr. Tom Hartman captured these stunning images, showcasing the precision and adaptability of nature.

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!
