Services
We provide on-demand services in transmission and scanning electron microscopy from sample preparation to imaging and elemental analysis. Typical samples include whole organisms, tissue sections, cells and extracellular vesicles, bacteria, viruses and organic or anorganic nano particles which can be preserved for imaging in various ways including high pressure freezing (cryoimmobilization of (sub)cellular structures).
Unsure if this solves your question? Come and speak to us. Where there’s a problem, there’s a solution.

Support
Introductory sessions and training to autonomously use our equipment are mandatory and provided based on individual needs. We further support our clients with technical advice and recommendations on preparatory or imaging techniques as well as on experimental planning and imaging data interpretation. We are happy to contribute on a collaborative basis if your samples require major protocol adaptations or method development

Code of Conduct
In line with the University’s Code of Conduct, as an imaging facility, we emphasise the following points:
- The CIUS imaging unit, together with all its users, operates as a community. We provide scientific support and all of us are mindful of instrument resources and other people’s needs.
- We operate on mutual trust. Please document bookings for autonomous use accurately, as this will help us to justify upgrades and investments for yours and your colleagues’ future projects.
- For the same reason, do not forget to acknowledge the facility and inform us, or consider co-authorship for more substantial contributions.
