Using a Scanning Electron Microscope

An electron microscope is a machine which scans the surface of a specimen by a beam of electrons that are reflected to form an image and we used it in the building and took it on tour in Liverpool!

Our students used the SEM in various projects, which were then displayed in the yearly CUC Schools Showcase.
Year 7s from Belvedere Academy came to use the SEM in the CUC building, along with Gavin Buckles from Surface Transforms, a partner of the CUC schools, a company that offers internships to our students.
We took it to the World Museum in Liverpool, the catalyst room where year 12 students Sam and Will helped 306 visitors and staff to use the SEM, their favourite item to observe was a butterfly tongue.
