CM12 Cryoelectron Microscope

Philips CM12 Microscope

A 120 kV scope with a tungsten filament electron beam source is used for all our routine transmission electron microscopy services. The microscope is equipped with a Gatan 4k x 2.7k CCD camera (Gatan 785.CP17). Digital images are acquired through Gatan Digital Micrograph. All details of the operation of the microscope can be found in Philips Operating Instructions for CM12 Electron Microscope (Doc# PW6030), a copy of which is on the shelf in Room EM2.
