Facilities and access
Our lab has facilities that can be accessed through the Department of Chemistry, The University of Hong Kong
More facilities will come soon.
Our GeminiSEM 360 is equipped for high-resolution topographic imaging of both materials and biological samples, and for high-sensitivity ultrastructural imaging of biological samples with improved throughput.
We have new user promotion now. Please check the Access costs part for details.
