Lehigh Microscopy School 2026 | SEM, FIB & TEM Training       

One week ago, researchers and microscopists gathered at the 2026 Lehigh Microscopy School for a week of hands-on learning, collaboration, and innovation.  

June 01-05, 2026

About the Lehigh Microscopy School  

Tescan was proud to support the program, with Lucille Giannuzzi, Ph.D. teaching the FIB-SEM Instrumentation and Applications course and Jack Mershon leading SEM training sessions on the Tescan VEGA. Participants gained practical experience in advanced microscopy techniques, from focused ion beam workflows and 3D characterization to SEM imaging and analysis.

An exciting highlight was the EXLO™ lift-out competition, where attendees put their specimen preparation skills to the test and experienced advanced lift-out workflows firsthand.

The program also included a live remote demonstration by Sharang, who operated a Tescan AMBER X 2 to showcase the capabilities of the Mistral Xe plasma FIB column, giving attendees a closer look at high-throughput plasma FIB milling and advanced TEM specimen preparation workflows.

Thank you to Lehigh University, the instructors, and everyone who participated in making this year's program such a success. We look forward to seeing how attendees apply these new skills in their research and applications.
