Used to make TEM sections
Eligibility
Prerequisites
- Users must have an active Badger account
- Must complete Moore 184 safety orientation
- Read and understand the SOP
- Schedule and complete one in-person training session with the sample prep staff
Overview
The Leica UC Enuity ultramicrotome is used to make thin sections of material for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM sections can be made at room temperature or at cryogenic temperatures. The system can produce 30 nm thin TEM sections, and is more suitable for soft materials, such as polymers, soft metals, biological samples, and composites.
- Room temperature sectioning
- Cryo-sectioning with LN2
- Site specific sectioning with 3D microCT image data
- Array tomography sectioning
- Cross section polishing
