Electron Microscopy Utrecht is devoted to the development and application of technologies for (cryo) specimen preparation, 3D (cryo) electron microscopy data collection, as well as image analysis for cell biology and material sciences applications.

SPECIFICATIONS MAIN EQUIPMENT:

The infrastructure includes several traditional Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) and a Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM), both with a full range of attachments such as STEM, EDX and energy-filtering. In addition it houses a specialised Focussed Ion Beam-SEM and an Integrated Light Electron Microscope (ILEM).The group houses the equipment to prepare specimen with preservation of ultrastructure (including cryo-fixation and freeze-substitution of samples), immunolabeling, serial-sectioning and high-resolution electron tomography and Slice and View to study three dimensional structure of cells, tissues and other materials.

AVAILABILITY:
Electron Microscopy Utrecht is a resource center that is available for use by outside investigators. Life- and material scientists with projects that would benefit from the facilities and technologies available in our center are encouraged to contact us.
