In the hall of the Faculty of Medicine still sits the first transmission electron microscope, a Philips EM300 used at the Facultés Notre-Dame de la Paix in the 70s. The history of electron microscopy at UNamur began, but the real start was made in 1975 with the acquisition of three more microscopes: two transmission and one scanning. In February 2018, when the technology platforms were created, this department was attached to the MORPH-IM platform, and in April 2024 became the independent "Electron Microscopy" platform, UNamur's 11th technology platform.
