Microscope Imaging Service—Tecnai F20: 200 Kv Transmission Electron Microscope

Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique that uses point-by-point illumination and spatial pinhole modulation to remove scattered light from the non-focal plane of the sample, allowing for improved optical resolution and visual contrast compared to traditional imaging methods. CD BioSciences, the imaging experts, can provide you with Tecnai F20: 200 Kv Transmission Electron Microscope-based confocal microscopy imaging services.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

Tecnai F20: 200 Kv Transmission Electron Microscope

Feature Highlights

1. Electron tomography providing 3D tomographic reconstructions of biological or material sciences samples. This allows full access to the 3D organisation of structures in the low nanometer range.
2. Certain thin biological samples can be quick frozen and imaged at cryogenic conditions (-180℃) to preserve and image the most close-to-nature state.
3. Atomic resolution on crystalline samples. Further structural analysis is possible by Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED) giving access to the d-spacing of the samples.
4. Beam sensitive samples, film negatives can be exposed with the electron beam resulting in a very high resolution at a very low beam exposure.
5. Realistically achievable resolution: 1 nm (standard imaging) / 0.1 nm (for crystals) / 0.05 nm (SAED)

Summary

The F20 is mainly used for Electron Tomography on biological and material sciences samples and for in-depth analysis of structure and composition of material sciences samples. Additionally, it can also be used for conventional TEM images of thick samples (around 250 nm).

CD BioSciences' Tecnai F20: 200 Kv Transmission Electron Microscope-based confocal microscopy service is an ideal partner for cutting-edge biomedical research, providing precise 3D imaging, as well as accurate imaging of cell structure and dynamic processes, all in one package.
