Year 12 Biology students visited the Electron Microscopy Centre at Plymouth University getting them off to a brilliant start for their brand new two year A level course. The students had the opportunity to use state of the art Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopes which are used to study everything from meteorite crystallography to diagnostic pathology.

Following the lecture, we visited Plymouth University library where the students were able to use undergraduate books to further research the practical applications of electron microscopy. Both Mr Inger and Miss Oldham were very impressed with the enthusiasm of the students and are very much looking forward to teaching them over the next two years.
