The electron microscope (EM) facility in the Department of Pathology offers diagnostic support to departmental faculty and residents as well as many other hospitals, both local and statewide. Along with the diagnostic support, the EM facility has assisted with many research projects of both faculty and residents from the Department of Pathology and other departments within the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Currently, the EM facility has a Leo 906 transmission electron microscope. The EM laboratory is staffed with a certified electron microscopy technician. Services offered by the EM facility include providing fixative, tissue processing and embedding in Epon or LR White, thick sectioning of blocks, ultrathin sectioning onto copper or nickel grids, staining of grids, and technical assistance with use of the microscope.
