From January to March, the gallery on the dean's office staircase at Kotlářská presents an exhibition presenting the research of the CEPLANT center and images of the SEM Mira3 microscope.
Want to see breathtaking images captured by a scanning electron microscope? Come and see the gallery on the staircase of the dean's office at Kotlářské, where you can see an exhibition presenting the research of the CEPLANT center.
CEPLANT was founded in 2010 as a partially independent unit operating on the pillars of its home workplace − the Institute of Physical Electronics of the Faculty of Science of the MU. Scientists from CEPLAN are engaged in basic and applied research in the field of physics of low-temperature plasma and electric discharges.
15 posters present unusual insights into the micro and nano world, which scientists at the CEPLANT center can visualize using a scanning electron microscope. The exhibition commemorates the ten-year anniversary of working with this device.
Jana Jurmanová, who is a recognized expert in the field of electron microscopy at CEPLANT and is responsible for SEM Mira3, came up with the idea of organizing the exhibition. A large group of CEPLANT researchers working with this microscope during research participated in the preparation of the exhibition itself, as well as the administrative team of the Department of Physical Electronics, that fine-tuned the final form of the individual posters.
The authors of the posters are Jana Jurmanová, Pavlína Slavíková, Tereza Schmidtová, Zlata Kelar Tučeková, Stanislava Debnárová, Dana Skácelová, Vlasta Štěpánová, Richard Krumpolec, Oleksandr Galmiz, Ondřej Jašek, Kateřina Rozehnalová, František Zelinka, Eliška Baková, Anežka Winklerová.
As stated by Bohumila Tesaříková, who is the main organizer of the exhibition: "With this exhibition, we present not only the research activity of the CEPLANT center, but also the multidisciplinary nature and scope of the application potential of plasma." The multidisciplinary nature of the research is represented by individual posters dedicated to selected topics. The co-author of the exhibition, Tereza Schmidtová, adds: "We can deal with the plasma treatment of various materials such as paper, wood, plastics, textiles. We can prepare thin layers with not only excellent mechanical properties. Using plasma, we also create various nanostructures and nanotubes not only based on carbon. We are dedicated to bioapplications and the potential of plasma technologies in medicine. We can also assist in the restoration work of artists," concludes Schmidtová.
Through this exhibition, experts in plasma and its applications bring the amazing possibilities of plasma closer to visitors and thus expand awareness of plasma in general. The application potential of plasma technologies is enormous. After the end, the exhibition will move from the dean's building to the campus in Bohunice and then to the PřF library back on Kotlářská. Come to see!
On September 27, 2024, over two hundred enthusiastic scientists, teachers and students prepared 62 stands on the theme ‘Transformations in the natural sciences and mathematics’, attracting more than 4,500 visitors to both SCI MUNI campuses.
On September 24, a group of graduates from the teacher training program in mathematics and physics visited us. They completed their studies in 1970, so we gave them a tour to show how the faculty has changed since then.
