Life Sciences Electron Microscopy Unit
Hamilton, ON
Company Overview
The Life Science Electron Microscopy Unit at McMaster provides transmission and environmental scanning electron microscopy services to university, government and industry researchers. Environmental scanning electron microscopy allows dynamic studies in specimens due to changes in hydration, dehydration, sublimation, heating, freezing, melting, tension, compression, bending, dissection and the addition of liquids or gases. Our tensile strength heating stage allows loads of up to 1000 lbs at temperatures up to 1000C. A cryosystem allows studies of samples down to -160C. Our heating stage will permit controlled heating from ambient temperature to 1500C. Energy dispersive x-ray (EDX)analysis capability permits localization of elements and image analysis. Our contrast enhancement PiXision system allows images to be manipulated to reveal new details. Our transmission electron microscopy facility permits studies of thin sections and also has EDX analysis and image analysis capabilities.
