Facilities
  • Analytical electron microscopy facilities
  • Electron microscopy is applied to study objects down to micro- and even nanometer scale (0,000001 mm) in a structural or analytical way.
    • Morphology imaging of the studied object up to a magnification of 300000 times in a scanning electron microscope
    • Imaging of different chemical phases also up to a magnification of 300000 times
    • Detailed chemical analysis of the sample, in an electron microprobe down to trace elements (parts per million, ppm scale, 0,0001%)
    • Crystallographic information, internal deformation inside the studied object down to micrometer scale (0,001 mm)
    • Internal structures of the studied object (cathodoluminescence)
  • Laboratory of molecular systematics
  • In the DNA laboratory research projects concerning systematics, phylogeny, phylogeography, and population genetics are performed. The principle of molecular systematics is based on the fact that the similarity of the DNA molecule reflects the degree of relatedness between taxa. DNA sequencing is performed to clarify phylogenetic questions in the broadest sense, microsatellite analyses are performed for population analyses and genetic monitoring. In addition, the DNA laboratory harbours a DNA and tissue collection.
