Core Facility Ultrastructure Analysis provides services in ultrastructure research / electron microscopy. The established core technologies include transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. A particular competence of the facility lies in the area of ​​ultrastructural analysis of cryopreserved or fixed tissues or cells by means of a combination of serial section technology, electron tomography and 3D reconstruction.
