Our department was proud to be represented at the 6th Slovenian Microscopy Symposium, held on May 13–15, 2026, in Rogla, Slovenia. The event brought together researchers, industry professionals, and microscopy users from the fields of life sciences, materials science, medicine, and engineering, fostering the exchange of knowledge, methodologies, and experiences across the microscopy community.

We are pleased to highlight the contributions of our colleagues:
🔹 Nina Križaj Kosi – STEM Characterization and Structural Evolution of a Hierarchically Structured CoNi-Based Catalyst on a Ceria–Alumina Support for Magnetically Heated Ammonia Synthesis (poster)
🔹 Darko Makovec – Structure of Ni-Substituted Barium Ferrite Magnetic Nanoplatelets Synthesized via a Hydrothermal Method:
From Stabilization of a β-Alumina-Type Defect Structure to Exchange-Coupled Spinel Ferrite–M-Type Hexaferrite Nanocomposites
(oral presentation)

🏆 We are especially proud to share that Nina Križaj Kosi received the award for Best Poster Presentation for her outstanding work. Congratulations, Nina, on this well-deserved recognition! 👏

The symposium provided an excellent platform for scientific exchange, networking, and strengthening collaborations within the Slovenian microscopy community.
