Welcome!
The Electron Microscopy Laboratory offers the tools and technical expertise for research and training in microscopy with both light and electron microscopes. We maintain and operate electron microscopes (TEM and SEM with EDS), a confocal laser scanning microscope, and the ancillary equipment needed for the preparation of specimens for EM and other microscopy. Our multiple light microscopes encompass optics for bright-field, phase-contrast, differential-interference, and fluorescence imaging.
Technical Services:
• Microscope operation—full operation of all electron and light microscopes.
• Specimen preservation by chemical and microwave-enhanced fixation.
• Specimen embedment in media suitable for TEM or light microscopy.
• Critical-point-drying of specimens for SEM.
• Metal coating of specimens by evaporative or sputter technology.
• Consulting on techniques of microscopy

| Airyscan2 Zeiss LSM 980 Confocal |
Zeiss LSM 980 – Airyscan 2: The inverted laser scanning confocal microscope is ideal for diverse range of applications for confocal and super resolution imaging including multi-color experiments, live sample imaging, protein colocalization, tiling of large samples, Z-stack 3D/4D imaging, and weak label detection. The microscope is equipped with environmental control (temperature, humidity and CO2) and can image live BSL-2 samples. The motorized XY stage can hold samples in slides, 35 mm dishes, chambered slides, and well-plates. |
