New High Speed TEM Camera

October 08, 2019

We are pleased to announce a recent upgrade in the Transmission Electron Microscopy Lab in the HRIF. Our TEM Lab (located in the Shelby Building Basement in Suite B40) has acquired an Advanced Microscopy Techniques (AMT) BioSprint 29, a high speed 29 Megapixel TEM camera which employs the use of AMT’s high precision ActiveVu lens. This system provides high definition images that are perfect for any life science application. The new addition of the camera to our existing transmission electron microscope allows investigators to capture images in the magnification range of 18.5x-650kx.

This upgrade was generously funded by UAB’s Health Services Foundation(HSF) and is due to the kind support of investigators like you. We look forward to any feedback on our newly installed system and appreciate your continued support as we apply for future grants so that we can continue to offer technology in support of your research. To schedule imaging time on our new camera, please contact Melissa Chimento or Ed Phillips at 205-934-1926.
