Overview

I am currently a Senior Research Technician specializing in Electron Microscopy at the Bioimaging Centre. My main responsibilities include preparing samples for electron microscopy, specifically TEM and SEM imaging. I also provide training to facility users and teach university students. I gained my EM-related skills while working as a Junior Electron Microscopist at the Imaging Methods Core Facility in Prague. My expertise lies in conventional biological sample preparation for EM, ultramicrotomy, TEM imaging, as well as advanced techniques such as vitrification, cryo-sectioning, and immunolabeling.
