Electron microscopy unit (EMil)

Overview of Services

The electron microscopy unit (EMil) is situated at Karolinska Universitssjukhuset Huddinge. Our EM lab routinely perform both SEM and TEM sample preparation and imaging. TEM preparation includes resin embedding, semi- and ultrathin sectioning and TEM microscopy and SEM prepraration typically dehydration by critical-point-drying (CPD) and platinum sputter coating. 

Our aim is to help researchers to solve biological questions using various electron microscopy techniques. We have extensive experience in conventional preparation for TEM and SEM including negative staining of various nanomaterials. The CF-EMil manages two transmission electron microscopes (TEM) one Hitachi HT7700 equipped with a 4MPx Veleta CCD camera, a Hitachi HT7800 equipped with a 20MPx Xarosa CMOS camera and a Zeiss Ultra 55 scanning electron microscope (SEM).
