Ian Holmes Imaging Centre, Bio21
The Ian Holmes Imaging Centre located at the Bio21 Institute is an open access facility that makes available state-of-the art electron microscopes to the students and staff of the University of Melbourne, as well as the wider community. It provides a complementary suite of capabilities, located in or linked to PC2 and pathogen handling capabilities. The instrumentation is optimised for biological samples as well as material science and engineering applications with a strong emphasis on cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM)
