    Multiscale Electron Imaging METi

     

    The Multiscale Electron Imaging (METi) platform is a transmission electron microscopy facility within the Centre de Biologie Intégrative de Toulouse (CBI).

    The METi takes part to the “Toulouse Réseau Imagerie” (TRI-IBiSA) cell imaging network of the Génopole Toulouse-Midi-Pyrénées and obtained the ISO 9001:2015 – NFX50-900 certification in January 2010.

     

    MISSIONS

    This facility is open to both academic and industrial users and offers three types of services. We can prepare samples, provide equipments, develop and manage projects. Our expertise is centered on biology, but projects in other fields (material science, chemistry, geology,…) have been successfully carried out.

    The METi is especially involved in the implementation of new technologies designed to prepare and observe samples as close as possible to their native state:

    • Cryo-electron microscopy / Single particles analysis
    • Cryomethods : cryofixation, freeze substitution and cryosections
    • (Cryo) Electron tomography
