HSC Core Research Facilities
Electron Microscopy Facility
Main
This facility provides a variety of microscopy services to the basic science and clinical communities. Services and technical capabilities include preparation of specimens for light and electron microscopy, specimen observation and image capture for light microscopy (brightfield, fluorescence, differential interference contrast, etc.), and specimen observation and image capture for transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Other specialized techniques that are available are quantitative morphology (image analysis), histo/cytochemistry, and immunohisto/cytochemistry at the light and electron microscope levels.
The EM Core Facility is available for both Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). We process tissue from fixative through plastic and provide a variety of support services including Immunobed sectioning and protocol consultation
