Electron Microscopy Suite at The Open University Details
The Electron Microscopy Suite at the Open University has the capability to analyse everything from brain tissue to rocks or paints. In addition to offering services in transmission and scanning electron microscopy, the OU EM Suite team are world leaders in 3D reconstruction electron microscopy. The pioneering new technique is already being used in medical research to shed light on cognitive disabilities such as those in Down syndrome. The EM Suite along with the expertise of our dedicated electron microscopy team provides a world class service which is available for use by researchers and industry.Key facilities include: - High resolution and high contrast transmission electron microscopy (TEM) - Variable pressure and high resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) - 3D reconstruction electron microscopy - Qualitative analysis, immunolabelling and elemental analysis - State-of-the-art image analysis suite - Fully equipped sample preparation area - EDS (EDX, EDAX), EBSD, electron microprobe
