The UTSA College of Engineering Interactive Technology Experience Center and the Department of Physics and Astronomy welcomed 100 area home school students participating in a Scanning Electron Microscope Open House on the 1604 Campus. The event allowed the students to expand their scientific knowledge of the world around them using a recently purchased high-power electron microscope. The $200,000 JEOL-5700 Carryscope, the only one in Texas and region, was purchased from a $1.5 million gift from the AT&T Foundation.
