Scientific Symposium on Transmission Electron Microscopy 

November 13, 2026 | Saint-Jérôme Campus, Marseille

The AMUtech Institute, in partnership with IM2NP and CINaM, is organizing a scientific conference dedicated to Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and its applications in materials science and life sciences.

This event will bring together the Marseille scientific community to discuss recent advances in electron microscopy, research utilizing these techniques, and prospects for the development of scientific equipment in Marseille.

It will also provide an opportunity to foster exchanges among the various scientific communities and to collectively reflect on future needs, particularly in the context of the project to acquire a state-of-the-art transmission electron microscope.

On the agenda

  • A guest lecture by Ileana Florea (CRHEA, CNRS) on new analytical techniques in STEM (scanning transmission electron microscopy).
  • A presentation by Suzanne Giorgio, professor emerita and honorary member of the French Society of Microscopy, tracing the history of electron microscopy in Marseille.
  • Scientific presentations highlighting recent research conducted in Marseille using various transmission electron microscopy techniques.
  • A roundtable discussion on the future of TEM in Marseille, including an overview of existing equipment, a presentation on the plan to acquire a new microscope, and discussions on the needs and prospects of the scientific community.
