A new journey from macro- to micro-world completed

In October 2024, the second event promoting microscopic techniques was held under the guidance of Eva Pecková of the Institute of Geology. The project was coordinated with the Dolákova Basic School in Prague 8. Various biological and mineral samples were presented at this school using their equipment, and complemented with a display of images taken by the Institute of Geology staff within their research. The second part of the event took place at the Institute facility in November, where selected senior students got acquainted with the operation of the Tescan Vega 3XMU electron microscope. They were also presented with the Mohs scale of mineral hardness (Z. Korbelová) and real-time crystallization (J. Rohovec). The project was supported by the Czechoslovak Microscopy Society and the Tescan Company.
