Facility for Electron Microscopy Research

The Facility for Electron Microscopy Research (FEMR) is a world-class, open-access electron microscopy facility at McGill University. The FEMR offers a comprehensive range of electron microscopy (EM) resources, expertise, and services for routine and advanced sample preparation, electron microscopy imaging, and analysis of biological matter, hydrated and beam-sensitive materials, and ambient temperature materials.

​

Operation of the FEMR is made possible by the support of the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), NanoQuebec-Quebec Nanotechnology Infrastructure (NQ-QNI), Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR),  Natural Science & Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada, Fonds de recherche Santé Québec, McGill University, and Galenvs Sciences Inc.
