The aim of the Electron Microscopy (EM) Unit is to help researchers to solve their biological questions using various transmission electron microscopy techniques. We have extensive knowledge in sample preparation, negative staining and cryo-electron microscopy, as well as experience in image processing, 2D analysis and 3D reconstruction. We offer guidance for selecting suitable techniques, specimen preparation and training on the use of our microscopes and support equipment. More advanced studies are usually provided through research collaboration.
