Name of Laboratory: |
National Electron Microprobe Laboratory (Earth Sciences) |
Short description: Mineralogy, Petrology and Tectonics research programme at the Department of Earth Sciences combines several related disciplines including classical, environmental and experimental mineralogy, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary petrology as well as high- and low-temperature geochemistry. We focus on deciphering shallow and deep Earth processes from surface to the Earth’s core. We are operating:

Zeiss Supra 35VP |
Name of Laboratory: |
EM-avdelningen at Medical Cell Biology, BMC (Medical Cell Biology) |
Short description: EM core facility with users from BMC, akademiska sjukhuset and SLU. Long experience with preparation of various biological materials and detection of proteins and carbohydrates in tissue with specific antibodies. The same techniques can after some minor modification be used for detection of proteins and carbohydrates in SEM specimens. |

Name of Laboratory: |
Wood Science, Forest Faculty, SLU ( Wood Science) |
Short description: The Wood Science Unit carries out research on the hierarchical structure of wood and pulp fibres, wood biomineralization by microbes and wood protection. In particular, we study the changes induced in wood fibres during industrial processing with a view of relating ultrastructure to energy savings and more efficient processes. Research is both fundamental and applied with strong collaboration with International Pulp and Paper companies. The electron microscope facilities have developed from the VINNOVA and Industry supported Wood Ultrastructure Research Centre. We are operating:

Name of Laboratory: |
EM-unit at Rudbeck / BioVisplatform |
Short description: EM core facility with users from akademiskasjukhuset,BMC and SLU. Long experience with preparation of various biological materials and detection of substances and structures with antibodies. The same techniques can after some minor modification be used for detection of proteins and carbohydrates in SEM specimens. |

that can be used on this equipment:
|
Data policy:
The electron microscope can be used for a fee. The preparation (embedding and sectioning) and if immunolabeling is desiered a lower fee is taken out than electron microskopi time. The data obtained are owned by the users. If help is needed I´m at your service. |
