Transmission Electron Microscopy Training

BIF has a JEOL 1230 TEM.

Training consists of 3 days, and is typically held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Training begins at 9a and goes until 12p.
Training for the TEM costs $155 per person (NU Affiliated rate; external users should request rates).

During the first session, you will be working almost exclusively with a standard sample. If you have material that you would like to image, plan to bring it with you on Wednesday or Friday. Bring a blank CD-R with you in case you want to save any images.

All users must complete basic room temperature TEM training before beginning cryo-TEM and Vitrobot training. There is no set time after your TEM training is complete as to when you can begin cryo-training. This decision is made by BIF Management and Specialists after a user has displayed adequate skill in room temperature TEM processes.

All training is dependent on availability of BIF staff and the equipment.

BIF does not offer training every week. Generally training is offered every other week — however, this is dependent on availability.

If you have any questions regarding training, please contact BIF Staff (847-467-0374).
