Publication/Authorship Policy
The TEM Core provides services for transmission electron microscopy on a fee-for-service basis. The TEM Core facility provides technical services only, interpretation of data is the responsibility of the submitting investigator. Also note that the TEM Core should be acknowledged in publications and presentations for which our services were utilized.
