The Advanced Bioimaging RTP was established in 2015. It supports the investigation of complex biological problems by researchers at Warwick and externally, through the application of cutting-edge imaging technologies. The RTP specialises in advanced light and electron microscopy.
The RTP houses two electron microscopes. The JEOL2200FS (2016) is equipped with a field emission gun electron source, an in-column energy filter, and a Gatan K2 Direct electron detector. The JEOL2100Plus (2018) is fitted with a LaB6 filament and a Gatan OneView IS CMOS camera. Additionally, the suite boasts a Leica GP plunge-freezer, an RMS cryo-ultramicrotome, and other supporting equipment such as a glow discharger and a carbon coater.
