Here is a two year certification program in Electron Microscopes at San Joaquin Delta Junior College in Stockton, California.
So, what is an electron microscope? An electron microscope is a special type of microscope used to look at things regular light microscopes cannot. Light has certain wavelengths it travels at... BIG wavelengths. This means you can only see things that are as big as the wavelength of the light. Light microscopes are only able to magnify things around 2,000 times but the wavelength of an electron is much, much smaller. This means you can see extremely small things with an electron microscope can magnify an object several million times.
In this program you learn:
1) Use of the Equipment
2) Sample preparation
3) Practical theory of the Electron Microscope
One can get a certificate specialized in Biological, Materials or both.
And most importantly the job market for trained microscopists is very good and very well paying.
