The electron microscopy facility (Sophisticated Analytical Instrumentation Facility-New Delhi, supported by DST-SAIF program) conducts national training programs on biological electron microscopy for

1. Scientific investigators (PhD/MD and MSc students in life sciences with 2-3 years of research experience after joining a PhD program; November-December, 12 days) and

2. Summer training for Laboratory technicians, graduate and postgraduate students and scientists working in Govt. recognised Institutions/ National Laboratories (May-June,1 month).

The aim of both training is to provide with the detailed hands-on comprehensive technical knowledge on the tissue preparation, ultramicrotomy, imaging, and elemental detection under transmission and scanning electron microscope, and tissue antigen localisation under transmission electron microscope (Immunogold electron microscopy).
