Electron microscopy is used for structural and chemical characterization of materials at micro and nanometer scales. Medical and biological samples are prepared, imaged and analyzed in 3D. Also, structure biology projects are addressed by cryo electron microscopy. Together with the Biochemical Imaging Centre Umeå (BICU) and researchers, UCEM supports correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) projects and method development.
Aims of the centre are:
• Provide high-quality service and technical support in scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
• Offer basic and practical courses, workshops and training on electron microscopy
• Assist interdisciplinary research activities and develop advanced methodologies for applications and projects with electron microscopy.
