Transmission Electron Microscopy

Transmission electron microscopy may be used to investigate and characterise submicron particles e.g. nano–particles, polymers, viruses and bacteria.

Services:

Transmission Electron Microscopy and Imaging Training

Three day training courses are offered in the use of TEM and include digital imaging and image analysis.    

Transmission Electron Microscopy with Microtome

This service utilises microtomy for semi-thin sections of biological material for examination by light microscopy and ultra microtomy for ultra–thin sections for examination by transmission electron microscopy. This service also includes cryo-ultramicrotomy.

Transmission Electron Microscopy, Microtome and Imaging Training

A two week training course is offered to include the use of microtomes for sectioning of biological samples at semi-thin and ultra-thin levels combined with training in the use of TEM, including digital imaging and image analysis.
