ZMNH Core Facility Morphology and Electron Microscopy
Our facility covers a large spectrum of light and electron microscopy techniques with a major focus on sample preparation and characterisation of genetically engineered animals, including immunolocalisation of proteins, ultrastructural analysis, and data processing.
We advice interested scientists on morphological questions and teach and train researchers in the application of microscopy techniques. Finally, our facility introduces and establishes new techniques and guarantees efficient use of the respective equipment.
DFG registered facility (RI00565)

• Advice and practical instruction in the application of histochemical techniques
• Instruction of researchers in operation of microscopes and accessories
• Introduction of useful new (immuno-) histochemical techniques and/or equipment
Techniques
• Morphological studies of many kinds of tissues with light-, confocal laser scanning-, or transmission electron microscopy
• Patho-histological analysis of the whole body of transgenic mice
• Histo- (cyto) chemical staining procedures
• Immunohisto- (cyto) chemistry

• TEM tomography
• Serial section reconstruction
Equipment
The Core Facility for Morphology and Electron Microscopy is equipped with two transmission electron microscopes.The electron microscopy laboratory including technical staff is available for sample preparation.
For section preparation we use two Leica EM Ultracut 7 and one Leica Ultracut S.
