Bioimaging Facility: Electron Microscopy
We have a unique EM facility offering a broad range of techniques that can answer many biological (and other) questions.
TEM and Preparation Equipment
Preparation Equipment
Leica ARTOS 3D Array Tomography
Location: Biosciences Room 175
Array tomography imaging offers unprecedented capabilities for high-resolution imaging of tissue molecular architectures.
Unlike common tedious sample preparation methods, the new ARTOS 3D offers an innovative technique to simplify the workflow significantly.
- The specially developed 4mm high precision diamond knife on a fully motorized stage makes it possible to accept a wide-range of substrates and collect accurately measured section ribbons on the carrier in the most careful manner without wrinkling.
- Integrated direct section ribbon collection preserves section quality and the small size of a section carrier fits to every chamber, allowing a high section density for SEM analysis.
- The innovative design of ARTOS 3D dynamically isolates environmental vibration and eliminates thickness variation due to air turbulences.
