The Hitachi HT7800 120 kV TEM is equipped with a Lab6 filament, AMT Nanosprint15 B digital camera, brightfield STEM and an Oxford Xplore EDS detector. This model has a Dual-Mode objective lens supports easy observation under low magnification, wide-field high contrast and high resolution. This multipurpose TEM is designed to image both material and biological samples and we routinely image nanoparticles and viruses. We also have a drop-casting sample preparation station for users, equipped with a glow discharge device, negative stains and sample grids. For ultramicrotomy of biological samples, we suggest that users work with the UMB Electron Microscopy Core– UMB prepared samples can be brought back to UMBC for TEM analysis.
