Teaching methods

Interactive Course

Mode of examination

Written and oral

Additional information

Due to the current situation, the practical training in the WS2020/21 can unfortunately only be carried out in a very limited and safety-conscious manner in small groups.

Priority is given to those students who need transmission electron microscopy directly for their research and who will apply it independently.

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee for participation in the praktikum.
Therefore, if you are interested, please contact one of the lecturers in order to make further plans.
