TEM JEM 1010

The Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) JEM 1010 allows the study of the cellular ultrastructure in ultrathin sections (50-70 nm) obtained using an ultramicrotome. It is also possible the study of viruses, bacteria, proteins and amyloid fibers, using negative staining techniques.
This equipment also allows the observation of nanoparticles suspensions and their interaction with several tissues.

USES OF THE EQUIPMENT
