Core Facilities

The Department of Cell Biology & Anatomy has a state-of-the-art JEOL 1210 Transmission Electron Microscope. This instrument is the first electron microscope to utilize modern 32 bit computer technology for the investigation of both biological and material science specimens.

The JEOL 1210 is located in the Department of Cell Biology & Anatomy in Room 6C23 of the Medical Education Building at 1901 Perdido Street and is part of a full service facility available to all investigators on a cost per service basis.

The microscope offers a variety of improved imaging and analytical capabilities with magnification ranging up to 800,000x.

Many techniques are presently available for processing sections of whole tissue, cells grown in tissue culture flasks or in petri dishes. We welcome the opportunity to assist our colleagues in their scientific endeavors.
