Electron Microscopy Core Facility

The facility provides advanced expertise in electron microscopy, from sample preparation to image analysis, for a wide variety of biological samples.

Image Analysis Software

For analysing the data generated using our electron microscopes, the EMCF makes use of EMBL’s compute resources located at the IT datacenter. Image data is stored and backed-up centrally. Dedicated virtual workstations in the 3DCloud offer a broad collection of software used for reconstruction or segmentation of EM data. These include Amira, IMOD, Ilastik and MIB. Certain analysis pipelines are also implemented using the compute cluster infrastructure speeding up the processing tremendously. In addition, we work closely with EMBL’s Centre for Bioimage Analysis for tailor-made image processing workflows.We make our data publicly available on public archives such as EMPIAR and share it using MoBIE, an interactive viewer developed at EMBL for exactly these purposes. You can find a collection of published projects within MoBIE.
