The BEMS Core Facility (MCDB Department) is an open access user facility that serves the University of Colorado, other non-profit institutions, as well as industry partners worldwide. We have three FEI Tecnai series transmission electron microscopes, two Gatan Direct Detectors, and ancillary equipment for biological specimen preparation. We specialize in room temp and cryo sample preparation, and the acquisition/processing of electron tomography and cryoTEM data. We train facility users to work independently, as well as providing these as a service.
