Where Innovation Meets Application

A Joint EM Workshop by ZEISS, University of Konstanz, and HZB

In collaboration with the Department of Physics at the University of Konstanz, we are excited to host a ZEISS On Your Campus (ZOYC) workshop on October 1, 2025.

Discover how your research can benefit from the latest advances in electron microscopy. This workshop will showcase how ZEISS scanning electron microscopes combine ultrahigh-resolution imaging with advanced analytical capabilities - while offering exceptional flexibility and ease of use. Experience high-resolution, surface-sensitive imaging and optical systems that support you in achieving outstanding analytical results.

Based on this, researchers from the University of Konstanz and the HZB will share their first-hand experiences using ZEISS electron microscopes in their respective fields. They will also introduce the flexible instruments that are ideal for a wide range of applications in materials science, industrial laboratories, and life sciences.

For scientists interested in electron microscopy and related techniques, this is an excellent opportunity to gain insights and engage directly with scientific experts and ZEISS staff.

Please register by September 19, 2025.
