Generating Three Dimensional Models of Skin Cells Using Serial Block-Face Scanning Electron Microscopy
28 Jan 2015The Gatan 3View®2 is one of a new generation of three dimensional electron microscopy (3DEM) systems that has been developed in the scanning electron microscope. A recent study from the School of Life Sciences and Biotechnology at Korea University was published in the Journal of Electron Microscopy. The group used Gatan 3View®2 data to search for melanosomes, as well as generating 3D models of melanocytes, results from which are displayed in this application note.

Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
