For off-campus users
The Center for Advanced Microscopy at MSU is here to support your activities with advanced microscopy intruments and experienced staff.
Get started with...
Assisted use of instrumentation
CAM Scientists can assist with use of any of the CAM's instruments with an associated hourly fee. We have a monthly invoicing process that makes it easy to get started collecting data fast but makes payment easy. Reach out to us by email to set up a consultation and get started.
Sample preparation and other services
CAM Scientists can assist with a variety of sample preparation protocols, often using the lab's instruments, with an associated hourly fee. More information is provided on our Sample Preparation Instruments page and our Services pages. Reach out to us by email to set up a consultation and get started.
Research collaborations
CAM Scientists can collaborate to design experiments, discuss sample preparation procedures and/or directly assist, collect data with CAM's instruments, and help with data interpretation. Instrument use and sample preparation have associated hourly rates. Reach out to us by email to set up a consultation.
Confidentiality / Non-disclosure agreements
The CAM can help facilitate working with you as part of a non-disclosure policy. Combined with our data security policy, we are prepared to provide support while maintaining confidentially.
Tours and demos
The CAM welcomes visitors for tours and demonstrations of all kinds and for all levels of background with our tools and technologies, including members of the general public or industry. We welcome courses from other institutions to visit the lab as well.
Collaboration on new equipment
As a University core facility, CAM scientists are dedicated to acquiring and supporting new advanced microscopy instrumentation. Our team can help with finding other interested collaborators, grant writing, instrument configurations, installation and management plans, reporting, etc. to obtain instruments of mutual interest. Reach out to Andy Elwood Madden to discuss.
