We maintain and operate two scanning electron microscopes, a confocal laser scanning microscope, and the ancillary equipment needed for the preparation of specimens for EM and other microscopy. Our multiple light microscopes encompass optics for bright-field, phase-contrast, Nomarski differential-interference, polarizing, and fluorescence imaging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users of the EML can opt for full technical services in microscopy so that they are provided with whatever micrographs and analyses are needed for given specimens, or users can work independently on the EML\u2019s microscopes and specimen-preparation equipment following appropriate training by the EML\u2019s staff. Technical service is available for any microscopy-related tasks, such as specimen preparation, microscope operation, and photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual tutorials on the operation of the EML\u2019s equipment can be arranged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information contact:<br><strong>Dr. Emma Perry, Electron Microscopy Lab Manager\u00a0<\/strong><br>11 Murray Hall, University of Maine,

Its specimen stage is a eucentric goniometer, meaning that the specimen can be tilted and rotated about the viewing axis. Dynamic focusing accommodates imaging flat specimens. Image capture is fully digital using an iXRF digital-capture system. The microscope is fitted with a high-performance Robinson backscatter detector, and an iXRF EDS system for elemental identification and mapping, in addition to the standard secondary electron detector.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image1251_b496ef-04 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1251_b496ef-04 alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-1024x608.jpg\" alt=\"Microscopic slide images\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-1024x608.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-768x456.jpg 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-105x62.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-317x188.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-423x251.jpg 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-634x376.jpg 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-846x502.jpg 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-951x564.jpg 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1-1268x753.jpg 1268w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/SEM-small-pics-1.jpg 1412w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zeiss NVision 40 FIB\/Scanning Electron Microscope<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"246\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision-246x300.jpg\" alt=\"Zeiss NVision 40 FIB\/Scanning Electron Microscope\" class=\"wp-image-693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision-246x300.jpg 246w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision-841x1024.jpg 841w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision-768x936.jpg 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision-105x128.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision-317x386.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision-423x515.jpg 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision-634x772.jpg 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision-846x1031.jpg 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision-951x1158.jpg 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2020\/06\/Zeiss-NVision.jpg 1192w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,246px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The SEM has a resolution of 1.2 nm, a magnification range of 20X \u2013 600,000X and an accelerating voltage range of 100V to 30KV.
