Equipment
Laboratory for sample preparation for transmission electron microscopy
Laboratory for sample preparation for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) includes equipment for preparation of small particles, like viruses, proteins and liposomes with negative staining method as well as preparation of plant and animal tissues and cell cultures for ultrastructure observation. LEICA EM ACE200 is used for preparation of grids for negative staining method and has carbon thread coater for evaporation of carbon of definite thickness and glow discharge unit. Glassknifemaker LEICA EM KMR3 enables preparation of glass knives from glass strips which are used for preparation of semi-thin slices of embedding biological samples using ultracut LEICA ULTRACUT UC7. Light microscope LEICA DM 1000 LED used for observation of semi-thin slices is equipped with digital camera FLEXAM C1 with CMOS sensor. Stereomicroscope LEICA S9 D is also part of the system for preparation of samples for TEM.
