Welcome!
The Electron Microscopy Service is a component of Histopathology Sciences. We provide a variety of techniques and services for the Research Staff and outside users on a fee-for-service basis. These include, but are not limited to:
Specialized Electron Microscopy techniques offered include:
We routinely process tissues for ultrastructural examination and provide technical assistance with procedures ranging from tissue fixation through the examination and analysis of specimens on the Scanning or Transmission Electron Microscopes (SEM, TEM). We provide personalized service for each investigator. Preparation for both scanning and transmission electron microscopy is available.
Before initiating an EM project, you should talk to Pete Finger (the EM Manager) or Lesley Bechtold (Histopathology Sciences Senior Manager) so that the optimum preparation of your tissue or cells takes place. Fixatives and buffers are freshly prepared for each project by EM Service staff. You are encouraged to provide Pete or Lesley with as much information, references, etc. that you feel would be helpful to your EM research.
