Jeol JEOL JEM-1400Flash Transmission Electron Microscope
Transmission electron microscope that can be used to first view samples at low magnification before studying fine structures of interest at high magnification. [Product Link]
Leica EM AFS2 is a freeze substitution platform that performs freeze substitution and progressive lowering of temperature (PLT) techniques and allows low temperature embedding and polymerization of resins. The Leica EM FSP (freeze substitution processor), an automatic reagent handling system combined with the Leica EM AFS2, dispenses reagents for both freeze substitution and PLT applications. The LED illumination from within the chamber and the attached stereomicroscope for viewing and positioning of samples ensures ease of use. [Product Link]
Leica Ultracut EM UC6 is an advanced ultramicrotome that features a Touch Screen Control Panel or a Keypad Control Panel. Both options enable fast and safer alignment of knife and specimen, and the programmable knife and cutting movements make trimming easy. With Leica's AutoTrim, you can automatically trim a specimen to a predetermined level in the block face, best for morphometric studies. Three dependent, built-in, brightness- controlled LED light sources provide outstanding illumination for top light, back light, and specimen transillumination. [Product Link]
Fully automated Leica VT1200 S vibrating blade microtome is designed to meet the highest sectioning demands for cutting fresh and fixed tissue in Neuroscience. To achieve sections of the highest quality that retain viable cells on the section surface, the vertical deflection of the blade can be measured by Leica's Vibrocheck measurement device and minimised with the blade holder. The instrument was designed in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Peter Jonas and his group at the Physiology Department, Freiburg Germany. [Product Link]
Critical point dryer with wafer holders that allow automatic anti stiction processing up to 5 pieces of either 100mm, 75mm, 50mm wafers or 10mm square die per process run. All internal surfaces are inert to CO2 and ultra pure alcohols. [Product Link]
ZEISS SIGMA VP field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) for imaging of non-conducting samples. It images of bacteria, cells, plants and organisms. Uses ATLAS software and can be combined with 3View technology from Gatan Inc. [Product Link]
The Electron Microscopy Core Facility (EMCF) offers TEM of cells and tissues, negative staining, whole-mount SEM, correlative LM and EM, and immunogold labeling, vEM.
