Research projects

I have no personal research projects. My mission is to help anyone who needs to examine their material by light or electron microscopy, both in finding the best way of preparing the material and in analyzing the specimens. I have taken PhD courses both in transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and the SEM has been my main instrument during almost 30 years. Many types of plant material have passed, such as seeds, leaves, roots, and pollen grains. Nowadays insect antennae are a very common material.
