Electron microscopy offers unique possibilities for cell structure analysis, cell content analysis, morphometry, element analysis and diagnostics. The uniqueness of electron microscopy for the research sector lies mainly in the development of a resolution range below 200 nm up to 0.34 nm, which is not accessible with other methods. On the other hand, electron beams simply bring to light other properties of tissues that would otherwise be completely unobservable. For resolution and detailed visualization of subcellular compartments and organelles, electron microscopy is still leading. By means of analytical EM the morphological information can be completed by an additional chemical characterization of nanoparticles.

The Facility can be used by all interested research groups of the Medical Faculty, public (university, MPG...) and non-public (industry...) institutions. Please contact the person listed below with your request.
