🔬✨ High school students took over KAMC for 3 weeks of hands-on research through SPARK Summer School! Across 6 labs, they explored, experimented, and wrapped it all up with final presentations for families, mentors, and peers. Future scientists in action! 🚀@UTSA @UTSA_PhyAst

Behind the scenes at KAMC: our staff replacing the electron gun-the tiny wire that emits electrons when heated. These electrons get accelerated under high vacuum into a focused beam, making nanoscale imaging possible. 🔬✨️

🚀⚡️New gear alert! Our 80 mm2 EDS detector-also tuned for low Z- materials-is now installed. Helenita can crank out nanoscale maps in no time! @UTSAResearch

[Kleberg Advanced Microscopy Center at UTSA @UTSA_KAMC]

In 2 weeks, we’re upgrading our JEOL ARM TEM for:

🔥High-res, low-dose, in situ X-ray mapping
🎯 Exceptional sensitivity for nanoscale analysis
⚡ Huge solid angle (up to 0.6 sr)

A game-changer for materials science! @UTSAResearch
