The key to successful growth of a Nanomedicine hub is forging industry and research partnerships. Build on the university’s strengths in engineering and physical sciences by searching for researchers and clinicians eager to cross-disciplinary boundaries.

The culture of researchers is very important to feel supported not only in a research group but in the School and in the wider University. Knowing you have support from both the Schools and Universities administration is empowering both personally and academically.

lack electricity and its more savely than electronic microscope because its naturally by using of light
Abdullahi Reply
advantage of electronic microscope is easily and clearly while disadvantage is dangerous because its electronic. advantage of light microscope is savely and naturally by sun while disadvantage is not easily,means its not sharp and not clear

in what situation (s) would be the use of a scanning electron microscope be ideal and why?
Kenna Reply
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,
