The Electron Microscopy Unit at Rhodes University offers much more than just EM, it is a comprehensive imaging centre providing a "one stop" service for an extremely wide range of imaging requirements. As such it has a very successful record operating as an autonomous service unit for researchers from within and outside the university for over 30 years.

The EMU has excellent equipment for macro- and micro-imaging requirements in biology and medicine. This internationally-competitive facility is geared to providing an easy-to-use service for its users.

Training courses on the use of the imaging techniques and technology available in the EM Unit are offered every year.

Although primarily equipped for life sciences microscopy, the EMU nevertheless also provides a wide range of valuable imaging facilities for applications in the physical and earth sciences, and for commerce, industry and law.
