Electron Microscopy MIC Mini Symposium 2025

Tuesday, 2025/12/09, 15:00

The MIC Mini Symposium marked the official inauguration of the new scanning and transmission electron microscopes at the Vetsuisse Faculty. The event featured a series of engaging presentations demonstrating the wide range of applications of electron microscopy, including animal hair in an archaeological context, bacteriophages diversity, apicomplexan parasites, the use of EM in fish and crayfish health, and the visualization of bacteria.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who made this event possible — from the dedicated MIC administration team and Veterinary Anatomy team to the funding bodies, as well as all speakers and attendees whose enthusiasm and support contributed to a lively and inspiring atmosphere.

The symposium was very well received, with stimulating talks highlighting both the scientific diversity and the impact of electron microscopy. Overall, the event was a success and provided a welcome platform for scientific exchange, inspiration, and future collaborations.

We hope all attendees enjoyed the program and gained insight into electron microscopy applications that enable a more detailed look into cells, microorganisms, viruses, nanoparticles, and surface structures.
