BRNOREGION MICROSCOPY

Brnoregion microscopy

We are a community of companies, research and educational institutions developing the field of electron microscopy in cooperation with the city of Brno and the South Moravian Region.

What is the BRNOREGION MICROSCOPY?

Since the first electron microscope arrived in Brno in 1948, Brnoregion microscopy has evolved into a world-class field. Nowhere worldwide can you find a community of companies, research, and educational institutions that develop microscopy in cooperation with the city and region to the extent seen in the Brno area. 

 

The mission of the newly established microscopy platform is to deepen this cooperation and collectively position Brno as the first location anyone thinks of when speaking about electron microscopy.
