A Health Sciences Center Core Electron Microscopy Facility provides complete scanning and transmission EM services on a fee-for-use basis.  This well-equipped center is staffed full-time and supervised by faculty from the Departments of Pathology and Anatomy. Investigators can obtain consultation regarding experimental design, as well as expert tissue preparation and ultra-thin sectioning services.

One of the two microscopes is a recently purchased JEOL TEM, and both instruments are covered by manufacturer service contracts. The Core EM facility also offers complete darkroom services.  The HSC Image Analysis facility of the Anatomy Dept. offers a comprehensive confocal imaging system (Zeiss LSM-510) and an integrated microscopy system for neuroanatomical 3-D reconstruction and design-based stereology (Neurolucida and Stereo Investigator; MicroBrightfield, Inc.)
