High-powered microscopes unveiled
I was pleased to be a part of the unveiling of two new, highly advanced electron microscopes last week at UNT's Research Park. The combined capabilities of these fascinating microscopes, which will give researchers the ability to closely examine molecules and atoms, are unique in the southwestern United States and place UNT in an exclusive position both regionally and nationally. I look forward to sharing with you more about the research being conducted with these new instruments. To learn more, click the link below.
