The Laboratory of Electron Microscopy was founded at the beginning of 70th as an open workplace with the main task to provide services in the field of biological electron microscopy. At present the laboratory is a supporting facility for research groups from shared campus of the Biology Centre of Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and the Faculty of Sciences of the University of South Bohemia at Ceske Budejovice.
The electron microscopy facility helps scientists from different fields to carry out their research using cutting-edge instrumentation and provides training and services from sample preparation to image analysis.
Imaging technologies available
Transmission electron microscopy including observation at at cryogenic temperatures, (cryo-) single particle analysis, and (cryo)- tilt-series electron tomography.
Scanning electron microscopy including observation at cryogenic temperatures (freeze-fracturing, freeze-etching), array tomography, serial block-face electron tomography.
Localizations of molecules, correlative light-electron microscopy.
