Electron Microscopy Resource Laboratory (RRID:SCR_022375):

The Electron Microscopy Resource Lab (EMRL) at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, is a training and service facility dedicated to providing both conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of cells and tissues and Negative stain EM. Our facility houses four transmission electron microscopes: JEM-1010 microscope for ultrastructure analysis; T12 for negative stain EM. The core facility offers services to University of Pennsylvania research groups and external academic research groups in the greater Philadelphia area.

The Ultrastructure Facility is the part of the Electron Microscopy Resource Laboratory that provides conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of cells and tissues services to Penn research groups and external academic research groups in the greater Philadelphia area. The facility houses a JEOL JEM-1010 microscope, sample preparation instruments and all the accessories needed to perform fixing, processing, sectioning, staining, and imaging.

We offer the following services at the Ultrastructure Facility:

• Pay-per-service Standard TEM and Immuno TEM for cellular and tissue structure. 
• Pay-per-service specimen preparation included fixing, processing, sectioning, staining, and imaging.
• Training on the Reichart Ultramicrotome for independent usage.
• Training on the JEOL 1010 microscope for independent microscope usage.

Note: The Ultrastructure Facility does not provide data analysis or processing.
