Cryo-SEM with capella column with Ga⁺⁺⁺ FIB, in-lens, SE2- and energy selective detectors, STEM, GIS, resolution 0.7 nm at 30KV with Atlas software package
for
- standard scanning electron microscopy
- focused ion beam investigations --> 3D reconstructions
- cryo scanning electron microscopy

Preparation table + preparation chamber (Quorum PP3010T) which is directly flunshed onto the SEM
for
- cryo scanning electron microscopy
- freeze etching and fracturing scanning electron microscopy

With this device scanning electron microscopic samples are critical-point-dried which is necessary before sputtering

With this device the surfaces of specimens are sputter coated with metals (platinum, palladium, gold or chrome) for better visualisation.

For some samples it is reasonable to perform carbon sputter coating before investigation on the scanning electron microscope. This device exclusively is used for that purpose.

Lab microwave with magnetic stirrer and vaccum system for
- quick embedding of electron microscopic samples
- treatment of tissue before paraffin- or immune fluorescence embedding
- decalcification (e.g., of bones)

High-end workstations for professional image processing & segmentation
for
- working with + segmentation of large image stacks
- three-dimensional visualisation of segmented structures
