Electron Microscopy & Digital Imaging Laboratory

The Microscopy &  Imaging Lab at UC Santa Cruz provides instruments and equipment for light and electron microscopy and digital imaging. The lab occupies approximately 2000 square feet of space in the state of the art Earth & Marine Science Building.

Two transmission electron microscopes (TEM) are available. A JEOL 1200 EX TEM equipped with a, 4pi x-ray analyzer and a Gatan Bioscan digital camera is used for general room temperature applications.

The lab also houses a state of the art JEOL 1230 TEM equipped with a Gatan cryostage and transfer device, a Gatan Ultrascan digital camera, and a Gatan 626 video camera.

Scanning electron microscopy is done using the lab's ISI WB-6 SEM. This is a conventional, tungsten filament instrument equipped with a 4pi x-ray analyzer and digital imaging system.
