Collaborative projects
This page showcases various research applications and case studies utilising CAM's microscopy techniques.
- Application
In the following application, researchers were interested in determining where plant disease resistance proteins are active and which function they display from various locations within a cell.
- Application
Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a technique available in the SEM.
- Application
Frequently in materials science, advanced techniques are used in order to improve the original properties of the starting material.
- Application
The TEM can be used to visualise the complexity of cells and show cellular structures.
- Application
To ensure the correct identification of the minerals by QEMSCAN, a multi-modal approach is used combining information collected through EDS/WDS microanalysis as well as X-ray diffraction techniques.
- Application
Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM) combines the unique capabilities of light and electron microscopy by studying the exact same sample with both modalities sequentially.
- Application
A cross-section through part of a bamboo skewer, showing a vascular bundle (looking like a monkey face), surrounded by cells of the bundle sheath.
- Application
This tiny slice of wood can now be identified as red cedar due to its microscopic structure. It comes from the historic Riley cabinet, made by an early Australian convict circa 1817 using 13 different native woods.
- Application
Bryozoa are tiny aquatic animals that form colonies, each measuring a few millimetres in length. The living animal is gone but the hard, calcium carbonate compartment of its skeleton is shown here. The holes allowed food to get through to the Bryozoan that once lived inside.
