Association for the Promotion of Electron Microscopy and Fine Structure Research

The Association for the Promotion of Electron Microscopy and Fine Structure Research was established in 1959 in order to promote scientific research and teaching in the field of electron microscopy and to provide special industries with the latest results of approved as well as newly designed microscopy techniques.

In doing so the Graz Centre for Electron Microscopy is operated by the Association, offering services in Research & Development (R&D) in the area of high resolution materials characterisation.  Hence, we are always happy to provide trainings on in-house instruments for SMEs who wish to upskill their staff and offer consultancy  concerning materials, quality control or failure analysis.

President and Vice President of the Association

Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.-Ing.h.c. Helmut List  &   Ing. Johann Höllwart
