for Electron Microscopy
The National Center for High Resolution Electron Microscopy (nCHREM) offers expertise in imaging, element analysis, and sample preparation for a wide variety of sample types.
A few examples of samples recently imaged at nCHREM
- nanoparticles
- semiconducting nano whiskers
- crystalline mesoporous materials
- nanotubes
- protein adsoption on zeolites materials
- binders
- cells
We have equipment for plunge-freezing of liquids and cryogenic
imaging (80 K and 4 K). It is also possible to make thin slices by microtome
sectioning, if required.
The facility is situated within the Chemical Center at Lund University, in southern Sweden.
Site updated: 12 May 2005. Recent updates.
The new Jeol 3000SFF with Helium cooled cryo transfer stage and a field emission gun. The microscope is equipped with a 4096 by 4096 pixels Tietz CCD camera for rapid high-resolution data collection. The attainable point resolution of the microscope is better than 0.2 nm at 4.2 Kelvin (-269 deg C).
