MCFF is pleased to extend an invitation to the MTU research community for a Brunch and Learn session with Keyence on Thursday, November 13th, 2025. The event will be held from 9 – 11 a.m. in Chem Sci 310. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP by Tuesday, November 11th, 2025 if you would like to attend.

Learn about the capabilities and operation of the Keyence elemental analyzer, metallograph, and digital microscope.

Notable features of these instruments include:

• Elemental analysis that requires no coating or vacuum
• Automatic element identification
• Analysis that can be performed over multiple layers, points, or angles
• High resolution images for microstructures

Please join MCFF for a cryo-SEM open demonstration day from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Wednesday, October 29 in MM630. 

One of the features available on the Apreo2 FESEM is cryo-SEM analysis. Cryo-SEM is a technique used to analyze samples that are air sensitive or cannot withstand a high vacuum environment. This includes liquids, reactive metals, biological samples, etc. Samples are frozen using liquid nitrogen and are ready for analysis.

We encourage you to bring your own samples for imaging and analysis. Samples will be prepped by staff during the event.
