    <description>Ms. Jarosius's early work was in Clinical Pathology carrying out diagnostic electron microscopy, instructing residents in ultramicrotomy and assisting in animal surgery. During the time she has been with the RRC, she has operated RCA, Hitachi, Philips, and JEOL microscopes with Kevex and Noran EDX systems. She has developed expertise in the operations and maintenance of facilities instrumentation and provides technical services (including training and consultation) to faculty students, staff and industry. She is presently involved with colleagues in developing specimen preparation techniques for biological and material science analysis with the new field emission, high resolution, scanning electron microscope.

In addition to Ms. Jarosius's B.S. Biological Sciences degree, she is also a Microscopy Society of America Certified Electron Microscopy Technologist.</description>

    <description>Ms. Juarez has over 23 years experience in microscopy and related areas, such as, Cell Culture, Oral Microbiology, Biochemistry and Histology in Diagnostic Research and Pharmaceutical laboratories. Her undergraduate and graduate research studies were on ultrastructual morphology of pathogenic oral bacteria related to bacterial plaque formation and its associated adherence mechanisms. She has spent significant time on TEM and SEM processing, ultramicrotomy and staining of biological specimens for ultrastructual analyzes. She joined the RRC-EMS staff in 1998.</description>

    <description>Ke-Bin's graduate work was carried out at National University of Singapore and  Michigan State University. At MSU his PhD thesis was on joining shape memory alloys for biomedical applications, in particular investigating phase equilibria, melting kinetics, microstrusture and mechanical properties of these joints. He has experience with a wide range of techniques including XPS, SPM, SEM and TEM.

&lt;p&gt;His role in EMS is to provide training and support for the instrumentation at the east campus site and also to provide analytical and consultation services for users of the facility.&lt;/p&gt; </description>

    <description>Alan's graduate and post graduate work were carried out at Birmingham University in England. His main research topic was analytical electron microscopy, an area that he is still interested in to this day. He spent twelve years with VG Microscopes as their applications scientist, involved in all aspects of the HB series dedicated Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopes, before moving to the RRC in January 1998. He was involved with the installation of the microscopes in the new RRC facilities in the Science and Engineering South (SES) building, and took over responsibility for all of the EMS in February 1999. </description>
