The University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Electron Microscopy Core Facility (EMCF) provides instrumentation and technical assistance to research programs utilizing Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The EMCF is available to all University of Nebraska personnel, as well as outside institutions and industrial users. The Director and two full-time Electron Microscopy Specialists are available for consultation and service. The managing microscopist has 40 years of experience and is fully certified by the Microscopy Society of America (MSA). His expertise cover a diverse range of specimens including bacteria, viruses, algae, marine organisms, particulate samples, as well as eukaryotic cell structure and tissue architecture. The facility is supported, in part, by user fees to cover supplies, instrument time and the EM Specialists' time to carry out any part of a project.

"Working with the Electron Microscopy Core Facility was a great experience. Nick, who I worked with, was very knowledgeable, efficient and thorough. I was extremely happy with the turn around time, as Nick provided all the images requested within a couple days of receiving the samples. I plan to go back to the UNMC Electron Microscopy Core Facility again for any future TEM needs."
