Welcome!
ALERT ATTENTION ⚠️
In observance of a holiday, Agilent CrossLab/iLab Operations Software Support Help Desk will be closed during U.S. hours on Friday, July 4th, 2025. We will resume regular U.S. support hours on Monday, July 7th, 2025. EU and APAC Support will remain open during this time. For urgent matters, please add "Urgent" to the ticket/email subject or press "1" when prompted to escalate a call on the iLab Support phone, and we will prioritize those requests first.
Our mission is to provide high-quality transmission electron microscopy (TEM) services, education, and training for the Penn State Hershey campus, other academic institutions, and private companies at-large.
The lab is equipped with high-resolution transmission electron microscopes (JEOL 1400) and a full suite of ancillary sample preparation equipment to fit most TEM-related needs. The equipment can provide nanometer-scale analysis for biological, chemical, and materials science. The TEM facility offers multiple levels of service that correspond with the services and training each user desires:
TEM services include sample preparation, fixation, embedding, ultra-microtomy, staining, TEM imaging, immuno-localization (i.e. immunogold EM), and negative staining.
TEM Applications
TEM can be used to obtain a detailed view of a specimen at the atomic resolution level. For biological samples, TEM can give unambiguous identification of cellular compartments and organelles. In combination with a specific molecular marker (e.g. antibody) and electron-dense labels (immunogold particles or Nanoparticles), it is possible to identify the association of particular molecules with a specific organelle or with another type of molecule.
