Microscope: Tecnai 12 Biotwin 120 KV Trasmission electron Cryo Electron Microscope FEI Make (year of comissioning 2000)
The Cryo TEM is the core facility that provides high end, high-resolution TEM application use in areas of virus morphodiagnosis, biological sciences, macromolecular imaging and 3D reconstruction with inbuilt cellular tomography platforms. Specimen processing techniques for negative staining, ultramicrotomy, and cryo specimen preparations are operation. Separate image analysis computation clusters and tele microscopy link systems are embedded.
Besides being an in-house, the facility caters to researchers in academia and industry. Request for same maybe sent to director.niv@icmr.gov.in Facility contact: 26006217, 26006248
