The Teneo will be moving on January 3rd, to ready the lab space for the arrival of our new TFS Tundra Cryo-TEM. As such all users should plan for the Teneo to be down from January 3rd-January 10th, just in case there are issues during the move. The Teneo’s new home will be in room 1001 of the GEM suite.
We will be unavailable during the UGA Holidays (Dec. 24, 2023-Jan 2, 2024)
We have recently completed the installation of our newest set of equipment which includes a variable pressure SEM, a cryo SEM preparation system, and an ion mill which also has a cryo milling feature. If you are interested in more specific details related to this equipment please contact Dr. Formo, at eformo@uga.edu
Our newest Scanning Electron Microscope has arrived and we are awaiting the Quorum Cryostage attachment. Once everything is installed, we will be ready to work with your samples.
Georgia Electron Microscopy has moved.
New address is 302 E. Campus Rd, Athens GA 30602 , Rooms 1001-1017. For directions, see our location page https://gem.uga.edu/contact/location/
To set up sample preparation and other services, contact Eric, Mary or John for arrangements.
Remember to wipe down all surfaces before and after instrument use!
In accordance with the latest CDC and USG guidelines, Face coverings are now optional at GEM . GEM Staff will continue to disinfect high touch surfaces.
In person meetings are now available, at your discretion, and we will continue to meet with you through virtual platforms if preferred.
We’re looking forward to seeing you again! Please contact us about questions or problems.

Our newest electron microscope, the Hitachi SU9000-EA, is ready for samples and training!
Contact Eric Formo for more information and consultation.
This two-day workshop provides a practical and basic introduction to characterization in the low kV imaging in electron microscopy, EDS analysis, as well as image post processing. Each day will consist of lecture, discussion and hands-on training led by GEM staff. Read More about Low kV, STEM FE-SEM Workshop, TBA
GEM will have a new Field Emission SEM/STEM for high resolution, low kV imaging and analysis. The Hitachi SU9000EA should be available Summer of 2020.
