Scanning electron microscopy

Cell & tissue imaging Microscopy Scanning electron microscopy

Service description

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of microscope used in imaging that produces images by scanning a surface with a focused beam of electrons. Eligible samples for SEM are typically dehydrated or fixed in the case of cells, and can also be cryogenically fixed for lipid observation. Back-scattering electrons (BSE) observation coupled with gold immunostaining can be selected if required.
