Biology, Electron Microscopes and software
I have been assisting in a remote workshop for the next scientists in Biology, CCP4 Crystallographic School in South Africa remotely taught from Diamond Light Source.
I work at the Electron Microscope Unit, at the University of Cape Town. This uses electron microscopes, which are different instruments to the Xray microscopy gear below.
X-Ray facilities require Synchrotrons which are expensive enough to be national facilities. We are using the UK national facility at Harwell. It was formerly the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, which was created after the Second World War on the site of RAF Harwell.
