Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Services
Room temperature and cryo capabilities cover every eventuality
Scanning Electron Microscopy
Our fees include routine sample preparation as required, including
sputter coating and/or carbon coating, mounting materials and Polaroid
Land film needed for the conduct of the work. For information about

Particle size distribution analysis also available at economical "add on"
prices.
Cryo SEM
Preparation and preservation using
a cryo-transfer stage and system
Analysis of liquids, low-melting point materials, soft film forming polymer emulsions,
immobilized diffusible compounds, and delicate biological structures. Samples are quench frozen
in liquid nitrogen slush and transferred to the SEM without exposure to air. Where necessary,
samples can be etched by sublimation, freeze fractured, and/or gold coated to provide surface conductivity.
Fee includes basic SEM charges and senior technical supervision.
