College of Microscopy

Located in Westmont, Illinois, the College of Microscopy is an institution for special instruction and specialized education, whose goal is to advance the knowledge and understanding of light and electron microscopy for materials analysis. It is dedicated to quality hands-on teaching of micro-analytical principles, techniques and applications, using state-of the-art light and electron microscopes and accessories. One of the advantages of attending a course at the College of Microscopy is that our courses are taught primarily by experienced senior staff scientists from McCrone Associates, Inc. who solve microanalytical problems on a daily basis. That’s why it’s true when we say, "Learn From Experience ... Learn From The Experts."

Courses From the McCrone Research Institute

Our courses, usually one-week in length, are designed to provide practicing scientists with training in critical applied microscopy.  Some courses provide an overview and emphasize the proper use of the microscope and its accessories; others are more specific.

Each course has lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on laboratory practice so that students learn each technique by hearing about it, watching it being done, and then doing it.  Students learn powerful and effective methods for studying, characterizing, and identifying materials of all kinds, and for rapidly solving research, production, and quality control problems.  Students are welcome to bring with them questions and samples pertaining to their particular area of interest.
