FEI Partners With Australian Microscopy & Microanalysis Research Facility to Develop Online Microscopy Education & Outreach
November 02 2015 - 5:00PM
FEI (NASDAQ:FEIC) and the Australian Microscopy & Microanalysis
Research Facility (AMMRF) have joined forces to bring the joy of
microscopy to the general public through MyScope™ Outreach.
“We are pleased that FEI is the first to join our MyScope™
Corporate Partner Program. With more than 60 years of microscopy
innovation and leadership, FEI shares our passion and commitment to
communicating the power of microscopy for discovery and solving
global challenges,” states Dr. Miles Apperley, CEO, AMMRF.
MyScope Outreach will be a free, online tool designed to make
microscopy education and outreach accessible to a global user
community, regardless of age, educational background, or
socio-economic history. It will be available in Q1 2016, and will
specifically target school-age (K-12) children and their associated
science education program.
“MyScope Outreach is an important part of FEI’s initiative to
get more kids interested in science, technology, engineering and
math (STEM) education,” states John Williams, FEI’s vice president
of corporate marketing. “It will feature fascinating images of
different kinds of samples that are ready to be explored using an
interactive, virtual microscope that simulates an electron
microscope.”
The AMMRF originally launched MyScope in 2011 as an online
education and training tool for microscopy and microanalysis
techniques. MyScope now provides global research training for more
than 100,000 students, scientists and engineers annually.
