Working group “Workshop SEM” of the DGE
As a founding member of the "Workshop SEM" initiative by the German Society for Electron Microscopy, point electronic actively supports this visionary competence center for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Bringing together around 30 experts from science and industry, the forum serves as a hub for collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange in SEM for materials and life sciences.
The initiative focuses on advancing SEM techniques and methods, providing specialized sessions at conferences, promoting education and training for the next generation of experts, and fostering scientific partnerships. At point electronic, we are dedicated to contribute our expertise to inspire innovation, address cutting-edge challenges in electron microscopy, and support the development of future-forward solutions.

Heinz Bethge Foundation of Applied Electron Microscopy
Honored to be member of the board of trustees of the Heinz Bethge Foundation of Applied Electron Microscopy, point electronic proudly contributes industry insights, insights to market developments, and research expertise to support its mission. The foundation promotes research and development in applied electron microscopy, focusing on materials science, medicine, and biology. It also supports the advanced training and qualification of young scientists, promotes pupils in scientific subjects, and engages in fostering collaboration between educational institutions and the transfer of knowledge.
Founded in 2011 by leading scientists, manufacturers and private individuals, the foundation honors Heinz Bethge, a pioneer in electron microscopy and long-time director of the Institute for Solid State Physics and Electron Microscopy in Halle (Saale). His work positioned electron microscopy at the forefront of scientific advancement in Germany and beyond. We are inspired by this mission and fully committed to supporting the foundation's impactful initiatives.
Electron Microscopy Museum Nuremberg
The Electron Microscopy Museum in Nuremberg is dedicated to preserving, showcasing, and educating the public about the history and evolution of electron microscopy. It archives key developments in the field and makes them accessible to everyone—from students and scholars to scientists and curious individuals.
At point electronic, we share a deep passion for innovation in electron microscopy and hold great respect for the pioneers whose work has shaped the industry. Aligned with our mission to advance the capabilities and performance of electron microscopes, we are proud to support the museum with our membership and help preserving the significance of this technology. Contributing to making its history is accessible for future generations to learn from and explore is an honor for us.
