Electron Microscopy
Discover worlds within our world, as you work with powerful electron microscopes in ways that will benefit our society.
Most people have probably never heard of Electron Microscopy, but imagine a career in which your job is to produce amazing, even beautiful images of objects that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye.
Delta College is the only community college in the United States to offer such a program, right here on the Stockton campus. So don't miss out on a unique opportunity! The work you do could help solve some of our toughest scientific problems.
This hands-on program deals with very practical elements of electron microscopy. There are three main areas of study, including the use of equipment, sample preparation, and practical theory of the electron microscope.
Anyone with a high school diploma or GED and the ability to learn can access this program. So if you're just out of high school or an adult looking for a career change, consider electron microscopy!

This really takes a load off of me. I already have enough chores as it is — I’m working and I’m trying to do my labs at the same time. Loads of Hope helps to take the burden off so that I can focus more on my studies. Plus I don’t have to fight my roommates over the laundry.
