Preparative Tecniques
| Asset | Details | |
|---|---|---|
| Polishing machine Struers Labopol-30 | Polishing machine equipped with an autosampler, to prepare embedded sections and surfaces, with a finish at 0,25 µm. |
| Microtomy Histocore Nanocut R | Microtome to prepare cuts of samples, at room temperature, with a thickness in the range 0,5-50 µm. |
| Cryofracture | Fracture of frozen of samples in liquid nitrogen (-196°C), to prepare sections of soft samples. | |
| Metal Coater Quorum Q150T+ | Replacing an old cressington metal coater by a more performant one. Design safer with the glass chamber protected. Better metal coating (thinner grain), improvement of picture quality. Coating thinner (from 8 to 2-4 nm) for most samples. Change of metal from Ir to Pt. More automated coating cycle, shorter, gain in time |
