Electron Microscopy

To see what no one has seen before

Whether you are interested in learning how to do electron microscopy (EM) yourself or prefer us to do EM for you – we can help! We offer a wide variety of preparation and visualization techniques for biological samples ranging from standard methods to cutting-edge cryo-EM for high-resolution 2D or 3D imaging. We also provide a basic scanning EM service to visualize surface structures of biological samples.

SERVICES

Electron microscopy training and infrastructure usage

Infrastructure users receive thorough training in the techniques/instruments they are interested in. All our instruments - from basic sample preparation equipment to our most sophisticated electron microscopes - are available to users 24/7. We further support our users in planning, execution, and interpretation of all EM-related experiments and regularly organize EM workshops and microscopy training.

EM service to visualize biological samples

We can do EM for you and have experience in the visualization of the following samples:

  • Molecules (RNA, DNA, proteins, lipids)
  • Complexes (liposomes, emulsions, synthetic structures)
  • Viruses
  • Bacteria
  • Organelles
  • Eukaryotic cells (fungi, plants, animals)
  • Tissues
  • Surface structures    

 

We are also very interested in establishing protocols for new samples.

Sample preparation techniques

We offer a wide variety of different sample preparation techniques to ensure optimal preservation of your specimen:

  • Negative staining for rapid visualization of macromolecules, proteins, viruses, organelles, or bacteria
  • Conventional chemical fixation for tissue samples and cell monolayers
  • High pressure freezing and freeze substitution for superior cellular preservation of cells and tissues
  • Rotary shadowing for high contrast examination of protein complexes
  • Freeze fracturing and etching for visualization of surfaces, membranes, and the inside of membranous compartments
  • Plunge freezing (immersion freezing) for cryo-EM (“cryo plunge freezing”) for best possible preservation of small samples close to their native state
  • Tokuyasu as a method for cryo-sectioning in combination with immunogold labeling
  • Immunolabeling to locate structures of interest
  • Ultramicrotomy: ultra-thin sectioning of resin-embedded samples
  • Sample preparation for SEM (scanning electron microscopy) to study surface structures

Imaging techniques

We offer the following EM imaging techniques to visualize your samples:

  • Basic Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to visualize the surface topology of samples
  • Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) to examine ultrastructure
    • Conventional 2D EM
    • Tomography - 3D EM
    • Cryo-EM (single particle and cryo-electron tomography)
  • Correlative Microscopy

EQUIPMENT

The 200 kV Thermo Fisher Scientific Glacios is a cryo-TEM for high-throughput sample screening and fully automated data recording. The Glacios is exclusively used for cryo-EM (single particle and cryo-tomography). Watch a time-lapse video of the installation below.

Please click here for more information.

 

The FEI Morgagni 268D is a robust and easy-to-use 100 kV TEM equipped with an Mega View III CCD (Olympus-SIS) camera. The microscope is easy to use and tailored for sample screening and routine visualization of:

  • Negatively-stained samples
  • Rotary-shadowed samples
  • Ultrathin sections
  • Immunolabelled samples

Please click here for more information.

The FEI Tecnai G2 20 (T20) is a 200 kV TEM equipped with an Eagle 4k HS camera and can be used for 2D and 3D (tomography) visualization of:

  • Negatively-stained samples (screening and automated data recording)
  • Rotary-shadowed samples
  • Room temperature tomography of resin-embedded samples

Please click here for more information.

This is a robust and easy-to-use table top scanning electron microscope for visualization of surface properties at higher resolution and deeper focus depth than achievable by light microscopy. The image is generated with back-scattered electrons induced by an electron beam of 15 keV.

Sample preparation is straightforward since it does not require coating with a conductive layer. The biological material can be frozen in liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, it can be chemically fixed and critical point-dried.

Additionally, we offer the following equipment and techniques:

  • Immersion and slam freezing
  • High vacuum evaporators and sputter coaters
  • High pressure freezing and freeze substitution
  • Sectioning
  • Embedding
  • Sample preparation for scanning electron microscopy
  • Ancillary equipment
  • Light microscopes

USER INFORMATION

In general, we offer four types of access to our shared research infrastructure:

  1. Research projects
  2. Full research services
  3. Trained user access | user labs
  4. Shared technology platform

Typically, these are set but not limited by the offered technology or instrument, and differ in the required user expertise, the usability of a technology, the user’s pre- and postprocessing input, and the underlying operational models.

Research project

Research projects are the equivalent of contract research organizations (CRO). The customer submits the starting material/sample and receives the ready-to-use data for publication. Hence, core facility members are often co-authoring and involved in the entire publication process.

Full research service

The user submits the sample, we perform a pre-defined workflow (incl. QC) and process the raw data. Data interpretation or contributions to publications cannot be offered in this service mode.

Trained user access | User labs

VBCF experts maintain an instrument park and train users to operate it. This requires a certain level of expertise, maturity of the offered technology, a hands-on attitude and reliability from the user.

Shared technology platform | Instrument park

These technologies require expert knowledge to run the offered instruments. Experts are hired by one of the research institutes on the Vienna BioCenter Campus. The experts maintain an instrument park, run the experiments and train other trainers. Machines can only be operated by experts.

 

The VBCF Electron Microscopy facility can be accessed via research projects. The facility also provides full research service and trained user access.

In general, the VBCF General Cooperation Conditions apply. If you want to use equipment or require training, please fill out the Infrastructure Usage and Training Request form. To book your services, please provide the following details in a service request

  • What is your scientific question?
  • Which organisms and samples are you working with?
  • Do you have preliminary results?
  • Are there any papers describing what you want to do?

 

We require acknowledgement of facility use in publications. A simple statement is sufficient and can be placed in the Materials and Methods section or in the Acknowledgments section, depending on the journal format.

Suggested format:

The XXXXXX was performed by the Electron Microscopy Facility at Vienna BioCenter Core Facilities (VBCF), member of the Vienna BioCenter (VBC), Austria.
