The UMMC electron microscopy facility is located in the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Mississippi Medical Center. These images can then be utilized in computational two and three dimensional image processing analyses. The facility is under the direction of Dr. Mona T. Norcum to whom inquiries should be addressed. Regardless of basis, all publications that contain images obtained at the facility or data derived from such images must reference the UMMC Electron Microscopy Facility.
Collaborative research assumes co-authorship of such manuscripts or abstracts.
Please discuss these items with the facility director. All billing and payment will be through the UMMC Accounting Office on behalf of the UMMC Electron Microscopy Facility. After approval of the proposed project by the facility director, a Purchase Order Number must be provided before work begins. In order to judge feasibility of the proposed work, all potential users must provide a brief description of the overall goal of the project with specific details of the information desired from a the study. For example, a project may be designed to give a simple description of a particle s size and shape, may involve mapping of component topography with antibodies or other labels, or may aim for reconstruction of a three-dimensional structure.
