Project Details

Description

* Electron microscopic preparation devices for high vacuum preparation techniques as coating, shadow coating, rotation shadowing for transmission and scanning electron microscopy and for X-ray analysis. * Cryo preparations as freeze fracturing, freeze etching, freeze drying and cryo transfer. * Gas discharge devices for preparation techniques by activated gases, for sputter coating and ion etching. * Cryotransfer-systems for sample transfer under high vacuum and low temperature (-196° C) conditions between preperation device and electron microscope * Critical point dryer for precise dehydration of organic samples * Ion milling devices to generate electron transparent samples from conductive and nonconductive materials. * Low-energy ion-milling * Special specimen holders, e.g. microfluorescence, x-ray microscopy
