ELECTRON MICROSCOPY AND HISTOLOGY PLATFORM – USherbrooke (animal/human)

Name of entity

Electron Microscopy and Histology Plateform (USherbrooke)

Entity type

Specialized Services Platform

Keywords

Human and animal histology, tissue sectioning, tissue preparation and embedding, staining, immune-histochemistry, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy.

Area of expertise

The Electron Microscopy and Histology platform provides instrumentation and technical expertise for preparation, acquisition and analysis of cell and tissue images obtained by light and electron microscopy.

Services offered

The platform offers different services, such as tissue preparation and embedding (paraffin, OCT, Epon), paraffin block and frozen tissue sectioning, thin and ultrathin sectioning, specific staining. Localization of specific proteins with direct and indirect immune-histochemistry or immunofluorescence, or with gold-labeled antibodies contributes to the next level of information after preliminary phenotyping.
