Teaching

At the Laboratory for Electron Microscopy (LEM), we combine excellent teaching with cutting-edge research. Our English-taught lectures and hands-on courses (e.g., Electron Microscopy I & II) provide strong theoretical and practical training using state-of-the-art infrastructure. In line with KIT’s research-oriented teaching approach, we integrate our research infrastructure into education (e.g., RI-RO), promote hands-on learning, and strengthen ethical responsibility in collaboration with ARRTI. Students are involved in research early on through theses, HiWi roles, and doctoral projects.
We foster an open and approachable question culture, where students are encouraged and empowered to ask questions and actively engage.
