Traditional Electron Microscopy

Traditional electron microscopy (EM) is a versatile imaging technique used to study the ultrastructure of biological samples, offering detailed 2D images at nanometer-scale resolution. Samples are typically fixed, dehydrated, and stained with heavy metals to enhance contrast before being imaged with a high-energy electron beam. This method is ideal for visualizing cellular structures, tissue organization, and the morphology of macromolecules.

For researchers looking to outsource this work, facilities offering traditional EM services handle every step, including sample preparation (fixation, embedding, sectioning, and staining), image acquisition, and basic analysis. Whether you’re in academia or industry, these services provide high-quality data tailored to your needs, enabling detailed insights into biological systems for applications ranging from basic research to diagnostics and product development.
