Glasburen, KBC, and Zoom
In the frame of the “SciLifeLab Site Umeå / KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series”, the seminars will be organised on Tuesdays during spring 2025. The seminars will be held in a hybrid format - IRL in Glasburen, KBC, Umeå, and online via Zoom. Learn more about the seminar series and Schedule for Spring 2025here.
On 29 April, at 12:00, SciLifeLab Site Umeå / KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series presents:
"Discover your sample in 3D using volume EM by FIB-SEM"
Speaker: Sara Henriksson, Staff scientist, Umeå Centre for Electron Microscopy (UCEM), Umeå University, and Head of FIB-SEM unit, SciLifeLab Site Umeå.
Abstract: FIB-SEM is a conventional scanning electron microscope equipped with a focused ion beam. This beam is destructive which enables shaping of objects inside of the microscope. Such a microscope can act as a knife, removing section by section of a sample. Together with high-quality sample preparation and electron detectors, this facilitates a volumetric view of any given sample at high magnification and resolution. This seminar will describe the method in more detail and give examples of supported projects and applications.
