On Monday May 3rd, 2021 at 3:00 pm, dr. Petr Klapetek will introduce the Czech Metrology Institute (CMI) based in Brno. You are cordially invited. Further information here.
Czech metrology institute provides uniformity and precision of measuring instruments and measurement in all the fields of research, technical and economic activities in the range of Law about metrology Nr. 505/90 Sb. in valid issue.
The Institute provides services in all basic fields of metrology:
- fundamental metrology, maintenance and development of national standards, research and development in metrology
- transfer of units, calibration of standards and measuring instruments
- legal metrology, type approvals of legal metrology instruments, initial and subsequent verification of measuring instruments, metrological supervision, conformity assessment in metrology.
Institute also provides certification of reference materials, provides state metrology assessment of measuring instruments and other services too. CMI cooperates in many national bodies.
Dr. Petr Klapetek is the head of the Unit of primary nanometrology and technical length that solves problem of characterisation of surfaces in nanoscale. They develop unique and speciallized devices for microscopy (state nanometrology ethalon with interferometric system, SPM microscope with wide range) and also widely used software (Gwyddion, Gsvit) for imagining, analysis and simulations.

Kick-off meeting of MUNI Forensic Hub
On 11 December 2025, the Faculty of Law hosted the kick-off meeting of the MUNI Forensic Hub, uniting experts from academia and applied practice to establish a strong methodological and conceptual framework for forensic, expert, and advisory activities – without centralizing opinions or certifications. Assoc. Prof. Dušan Kováčik highlighted the role of plasma surface modification research from the DPPT and the CEPLANT Centre, illustrating how cutting-edge innovations can enhance forensic methodologies and education.
