MicroED Short Course
November 3-5, 2025

NYSBC, SEMC and NCCAT will offer a 3-day short course November 3-5. Day one of the course will encompass lectures that delve into the multiple steps of the MicroED workflow. Days 2 & 3 will have practicals in sample preparation, setting up a TEM for data collection, and data processing. For those that want further instruction and a chance to collect their own data, we will host a bonus day for independent practice on November 6. We held our first MicroED short course November 6-9, 2023 (https://nccat.nysbc.org/activities/courses/nccat-microed-2023/) for 18 participants that resulted in an Acta C review to help disseminate knowledge to the greater scientific community. Our second iteration November 4-6, 2024 built on lessons learned from the first workshop and further expanded the community of electron diffraction practitioners. This offering will be our third iteration that will be focused on advancing the field by creating sustainable communities of independent researchers.
