Serial block-face SEM (SBF-SEM) is a highly valuable 3D analysis technique that combines in situ sectioning and imaging of plastic-embedded tissues for volumetric analysis and reconstruction of large sample volumes.
The Thermo Scientific Volumescope 2 is a proven SBF-SEM solution that can capture large data volumes from a wide range of biological specimens.
The Volumescope 2 SEM is also a workhorse solution for a range of volume EM techniques, and partners easily with the modular Thermo Scientific Apreo 2 SEM, making it an ideal choice for multi-use environments where many different specimens are explored. It provides multiple acquisition modes on a single SEM platform, including 2D large-area SEM imaging, array tomography, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), cryo-SEM, correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
