The Electron Microscopy platform

The Electron Microscopy platform

Is a research base with multiple users, designed for high scientific research and education/specialisation of young researchers in the morphological and surface area analysis using TSM and SEM instruments. Its activities cover a large number of scientific domains: physics, chemistry, geology, mineralogy, geography, animal and plant biology (with special emphasis on cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology) pharmacology, human and animal medicine, ecology and environment protection, as well as industry areas, such as: food technology, mining, oil industry, metallurgy and chemical industry.

The platform includes also an Electron Probe Micro Analyzer which can perform micron scale quantitative analysis and deliver high quality minor and trace element analyses due to the low down to 100 ppm detection limit. Also, it can perform chemical mapping at high spatial resolution.
