Consuelo Carbonell-Moore is studying dinoflagellates from Indian Ocean. She currently holds a Courtesy Faculty appointment in the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology.
Installation of a new Titan 80-200 high resolution TEM has been finished. Now it is under testing. This TEM is equipped with advanced X-Ray chemical analysis system - ChemiSTEM and electron energy-loss spectrometer (EELS) with gatan image filter (GIF).

The Electron Microscopy Facility (EMF) at Oregon State University (OSU) is a service facility providing faculty, staff, students, and collaborators access to electron microscopes and related instrumentation. EMF was created in 1967 in the College of Agricultural Sciences' Department of Botany and Plant Pathology to support life and materials sciences research programs. EMF is supported from the Office of Vice-President for Research and the facility's client colleges. The EMF is overseen by a committee, with members from client colleges. The Facility is located in 145 EM Suite in Linus Pauling Science Center.

We are proud of our 45 years of history.
