As Volume EM techniques we offer Electron Tomography and Serial Blockface Scanning Electron Microscopy. The targeting of a precise ROI can be achieved by integrating Light Microscopy or X-ray imaging in the pipeline.
Technology: Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM)
Combines features of TEM and SEM: a focused electron beam is scanned through the sample to collect detailed structural and analytical information.
Expertise in preparing and observing biological samples in their native form—hydrated or prepared by fixation and dehydration via critical point bypass—using the Hitachi SU5000 SEM. Analysis of microorganism morphologies.
Ultrastructural studies in transmission electron microscopies (2D -3D) for plant sciences and animals sciences: from sample preparation (conventional and cryogenic conditions), to imaging & data processing
