Here's what previous studentson the course have said:
"Overall I thought the course was excellent and would not hesitate to recommend it. The quality of the notes is superb complete with the backup information for the course. The guys in Leeds Uni could not have been more helpful. All that and a the great social side in the evenings made for a very enjoyable and informative week. I'm now looking forward to the optical version in the summer."
"Found the course very useful for TEM and gave me an insight in other aspects of all electron microscopy."
"I thought all lectures were presented well and I took away new knowledge from them all."
"Great to have the chance of one-to-one to try out a new technique."
"Thank you for a very well organised course. A good range of equipment was available for the demonstrations."
"The course was very well organised and the range of talks was very good."
