Inauguration Symposium
November 27, 2025 – ScopeM, ETH Zurich
ScopeM is pleased to announce the official inauguration of the Zeiss GeminiSEM 560 Volutome
This state-of-the-art Scanning Electron Microscope enables high-resolution imaging under variable pressure conditions. Serial Block-Face SEM (SBF-SEM) becomes available with the Volutome module, expanding the instrument’s capabilities into nanoscale 3D imaging.
The occasion will be celebrated with an Inauguration Symposium, highlighting the capabilities of the instrument and its role in advancing volume electron microscopy (vEM) at ScopeM.
You are warmly invited to join us for a day of scientific exchange, celebration, and discovery of future directions in 3D electron microscopy.
Kindly confirm your participation by November 17 using this external page link.
