Centre for Advanced Microscopy (CfAM)

Microscopes

SEM

The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is one of the most versatile and widely used tool of modern science as it allows the study of both morphology and composition of biological and physical materials.

TEM

The Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) allows users to determine the internal structure of materials, both of biological or non-biological origin.

AFM

The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is a scanning probe microscopy that allows topographic imaging.

Confocal Raman microscope

The confocal Raman microscope can provide

Confocal light microscopy

We can provide access to confocal light microscopes.

Preparation facilities

CfAM provides extensive facilities for preparation of samples for microscopy.

Sample Preparation Laboratory

The Centre provides a variety of sample preparation facilities.

Microtomy Facility

Microtomy encompasses a range of techniques used to produce thin slices, or sections, of samples for examination by microscopy.
