Electron Microscope Laboratory
Our laboratory has state-of-the-art instrumentation including Field-Emission
Environmental SEM, conventional SEM, and STEM. All our microscopes are
equipped with new PGT Imix-PC EDS systems with digital Prism detectors.
The laboratory staff is knowledgeable in a wide range of biological and
materials research.
The Electron Microscope Laboratory performs research in the fields
of life and physical sciences for the School
of Dentistry, University of Missouri
- Kansas City and for those outside the university on a fee basis.
We are happy to work with any organization in need of electron microscopy
applications, consultation, or training. |

Field-Emission Environmental SEM FEI/Philips XL30
can be used for almost any kind of specimen:
1. Wet specimens: humidity in the specimen chamber can be as high as
100%, making it possible to observe live cells, dissolving and drying processes,
etc. (Images)
2. Non-conductive specimens without coating can be observed in "wet"
mode with high resolution imaging and EDS capabilities for elemental analysis.
(Images)
3. Non-conductive beam-sensitive specimens can be observed in low voltage
mode, which is especially effective in field-emission SEMs.
(Images)
4. Conductive samples and samples with conductive coating. (Images)
Other important advantages of this microscope are very high resolution/magnification
and digital imaging. |
|
| Philips SEM 515 is a conventional SEM and
is used for conductive and coated samples when needed magnification is
below 10,000. Its main advantage for our customers: it's cheaper. (Images) |
|
| Philips SM12 STEM is a high quality TEM with
STEM capabilities and provides TEM and STEM imaging, diffraction, X-ray
microanalysis and digital image capture in STEM mode. (Images) |
|
| All our microscopes are equipped with new EDS systems
PGT Imix-PC and digital Prism detectors with ultra-thin windows that
are capable of qualitative and quantitative composition analysis of elements
from B to U, X-ray maps and profiles collection, high quality image capturing
(up to 4k x 4k), image editing and analysis, etc. (Images) |
|
| We have a wide range of specimen preparation
equipment and image analysis and image presentation equipment, including
dark room and publishing quality […] color printer. |
