Samples preparation

For biology

The samples studied for biology are mainly those prepared as isolated particles by transmission electron microscopy. The equipment available is :
- a Cressington 208C carbon evaporator
- a Pelco effluver
- a Leica EM-GP automatic guillotine
- a Gatan Elsa sample holder for cryo-microscopy.
 

For physics and chemistry

The samples studied for physics/chemistry are mainly nanoparticle samples using transmission or scanning electron microscopy. The equipment available is :
- a Cressington 208C carbon evaporator
- a Pelco evaporator
- a manual guillotine (Homo/Adrian type)
- a Gatan Elsa sample holder for cryo-microscopy
- syringe pump preparation station for Poseidon Select sample holder
- an EMITEC K550X metalizer for sample preparation in scanning electron microscopy
- a Tergeo-EM tabletop Plasma Cleaner.
