Recent developments in electron microscopy mean that it can now determine the structures of proteins with near atomic resolution. Our Postgraduate Certificate in Macromolecular Electron Microscopy is an excellent introduction to the latest techniques in macromolecular electron microscopy, in which you will learn about:

image formation in the electron microscope
preparing samples for biological electron microscopy
processing electron microsopy image data through to a final 3D atomic model.
