Multiscale Microscopy Core (MMC)

Overview of Services

The Multiscale Microscopy Core (MMC) provides access to state-of the-art electron microscopy imaging platforms including a Helios NanoLab™ G3 Dualbeam™ FIB-SEM (used for automated high resolution 2D and 3D SEM image acquisition and sample preparation),  a Tecnai™ with iCorr™ (the world’s first commercial microscope which integrates light and EM capabilities), an Apreo Serial Block face SEM, a Glacios cryoTEM for rozen hydrated samples, a CorrSight for correlative light and EM workflows, and a Helios UC5 with cryo-FIB and elemental analysis capabilities.

Training and services, which include project consultation, specimen preparation, imaging and analysis are available to all academic and commercial parties.  Formerly existing as the EM Core, the newly expanded MMC was established in 2013 through collaborative efforts of theOHSU Center for Spatial Systems Biomedicine (OCSSB) and Hillsboro-based FEI.

General specimen information and instructions for handling can be found in the Test Directory.
