Scanning EM unit at the Zoologische Staatssammlung München

The Scanning EM at the ZSM, a Leo 1430VP, is used by various scientists from both the ZSM and the Biozentrum of the LMU. Here we provide examples of recent and ongoing studies which use the conventional, low voltage, low vacuum, and QBSE modes.
