With two transmission electron microscopes, a scanning electron microscope and a range of preparatory equipment, the Advanced Bioimaging RTP at the University of Warwick can analyse many different types of samples for various properties. We specialise in the analysis of biological samples. For cells and tissues, we can study the ultrastructure of cells, with techniques such as resin embedding, ultrathin sectioning and array tomography. For proteins, viruses and bacteriophage, we can do cryo-TEM. For biofilms we have a cryo-SEM. These methods also translate well to soft materials such as nanoparticles, vesicles, liposomes, where membrane thickness, particle size and general morphological characterisation are common requests. We are always happy to discuss projects, so please contact us if you have any questions
