Welcome!
ALERT Coming January 26th - updated Scheduling calendar interfaces! Improved layouts, modernized look and feel and simplified options to make booking resource time more intuitive. See here and here for more information.
ALERT Some budget accounts may not be available for use for PSU users in the iLab system. Agilent Engineers and PSU Project Managers are investigating and will restore the accounts for use as soon as possible.
(hide this warning on this page)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 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 details view of a specimen at atomic resolution level. For biological samples, TEM can give unambiguous identification of cellular compartments and organelles. In combination with specific molecular marker (e.g. antibody) and electron dense labels (immunogold particles or Nanoparticles), it is possible to identify association of a particular molecules with a specific organelle or with another type of molecules.
