On-site Guidance for Testing Spectra

This seminar will be taught by Prof. Dr. Jihu Su, a well-known expert in the field of electron paramagnetic resonance in China. Prof. Dr. Su will optimize and upgrade the course according to the latest textbook "Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy - Principles and Applications", and conduct targeted seminars and exchanges with the participants. At the same time, each participant can bring a sample to test with CIQTEK EPR (ESR) spectroscopy and receive face-to-face guidance from Prof. Dr. Su.
