The CBI Electron Microscopy Lab is part of the Center for Biologic Imaging, one of the largest microscope based imaging centers in the US, equipped with almost all light and electron optical equipment and expertise. This iLABS service page is limited to the EM components of the Center which runs as a traditional billing facility. Importantly please do not request services through iLABS without making initial contact between the PI of the research group and one of the EM facility faculty or staff (contact page here). For a limited description of some of the EM platforms available in the Center, see the "Schedule Equipment" tab.
