TLL owns a Scanning Electron Microscope and a Transmission Electron Microscope (click on the names for photos of the systems or logos for manufacturers websites).

We also have the necessary equipment for the preparation of specimens and can provide glass knives for researchers who need them for histology purposes.

Equipment includes:

Bal-Tec Critical Point Dryer
Bal-Tec Gold sputter machine
Ultrathin section microtome
Leica EMKMR2 for making glass knives
