What an Opportunity!

Thanks to  Hana M., I enjoyed a private tour of world class bioimaging and the chance to operate an electron microscope. Absolutely thrilling!  We looked at three electron microscopes, including the Titan Krios - a five million dollar microscope of which there are only fifteen in the world.  What an experience!  Imagine if you could actually view the microbe you're studying right now.  Imagine.
