The Robert D. Ogg Electron Microscope Laboratory (EML) is located in 26 Giannini Hall in the North basement. The EML is an instruction and research unit of the College of Letters and Sciences, providing EM services to the Berkeley campus and the academic community at large.

The EML provides three basic types of service:

• Education and training
• Equipment for trained users
• Full service microscopy for pilot studies

All are available to anyone with an interest in electron microscopy: graduate and undergraduate students, post-doctoral researchers, faculty, staff and non-UC users.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING
The EML provides basic to advanced training in all aspects of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), from speciment preparation to darkroom techniques. Undergraduate or graduate students who enroll in either MCB 481B or MCB 481C receive training at NO CHARGE. These courses are offered every semester and are usually given as individual tutorials. Training for non-students is available at a rate of $41 per hour. The final cost of the training will be determined by what the trainee wishes to learn and the extent of their previous experience.
