Zeiss GeminiSEM 460 with Volutome

Electron Microscopy Unit (EMBI) is acquiring an automated serial block face scanning electron microscope (SBF-SEM) suitable especially for large volumes and broad variety of specimen types. The new system will replace the aged system, which has been the most used instrument of the unit, used in numerous high-profile projects and attracted several international projects. Moreover, due to fast developments in the field, new instruments have higher sensitivity and provide better resolution than earlier systems, allowing imaging of new types of samples. EMBI is a multi-user environment and, thus, the two main criteria for selection of the instrument are (1) image quality and (2) suitability for wide range of different tissue and cell types with different size and imaging requirements.
