Integral Center of Electron Microscopy (CIME)

As a central service of the Technological Scientific Center (CCT) NOA Sur and the National University of Tucumán, CIME's mission is to obtain knowledge in the field of electron microscopy (transmission and scanning) to develop its own methods, train specialized human resources and offer better services to all potential users, whether they are members of the scientific-academic system or of the social and productive sectors.

The CIME is part of the National Microscopy System (SNM) of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation whose mission is to generate, execute and coordinate policies that help maximize the use of large microscopes acquired with public funds.

The fields of application of this type of microscopy are the biological, medical, forensic, geological, material and technological sciences of food, agriculture, mining, electronics, nanotechnology, among many others.
