Welcome to the Wageningen Electron Microscopy Centre (WEMC)
The electron microscopy facility of Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR) provides technical support and consultation in the area of electron microscopy and elemental analysis.
WEMC is located on the groundfloor of the RADIX building and administered by the Laboratory of Virology. The centre provides microscopy and specimen preparation facilities for biological and materials science research. In addition, the centre offers necessary training and access to all microscopes and ancillary equipment to faculty, staff, and students of the WUR as well as external users.
The electron microscopy centre is operated on a cost-recovery basis and fees are accessed for consumables, equipment use, and staff support. The following microscopes are operational at the Wageningen EM Center:
· JEOL JEM1011 for routine transmission electron microscopy (2007)
· JEOL JEM2100 for high resolution analytical transmission electron microscopy and tomography (2007)
· FEI Magellan for high resolution scanning electron microscopy with EDAX EDS system and cryo-facility (2009)
Ancillary equipment includes (cryo-)ultramicrotomes, sputter coater, critical point dryer, carbon evaporator, plunge and high pressure freezing equipment.
