The electron microscopy platform gives researchers access to an electron microscope, as well as to sample preparation techniques. The department has particular expertise in the study of the nervous and neuromuscular systems. We are also developing new approaches to electron microscopy applied to cell biology and developmental biology (high-pressure freezing, cryo-substitution, immunocytochemistry, etc.).

Our services

• Transmission electron microscopy observation
• Contribution to scientific projects involving electron microscopy methods for cell biology and immunocytochemistry (sample preparation, ultramicrotomy and observation)
• Assistance to users in choosing appropriate procedures
• Training in electron microscopy methods

Access, booking, prices

Access conditions depend on the user’s level of training.
Users should contact the manager for any new registrations.
