The Institute's centre for electron microscopy emerged out of a growing need at IISc for centralized state-of-the-art facilities for microstructural characterization. Since 2004, thanks to generous support from the Institute, Department of Science and Technology, Council for Scientific & Industrial Research, Department of Atomic Energy and Defence Research & Development Organisation, the centre has installed the following equipment with a current total value of about Rs 15 crores (US$3.5 million)

300 kV field emission TEM-STEM with capability for EELS, EDXS, 200 kV field emission TEM-T20, cryo-microscopy and HAADF field emission SEM with EDXS, EBSD and in-situ straining. Single beam FIB Conventional SEM with lithographic capability.

Specimen preparation accessories for sputter deposition, plasma cleaning, ion milling, dimpling.

All machines are networked with the rest of the campus. Users of the centre straddle all disciplines at IISc, including engineering, physical, chemical and biological sciences. The centre maintains UPS and service contracts to ensure minimum down time, provides trained operators for each instrument and conducts periodic training for students to become independent users of the facility which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For usage of machines,the entire booking of slots is done online.

Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana, CENIEH. This laboratory not only provides access to services advantageously, but it also provides users with advice about the most appropriate technique to use depending on the characteristics of the sample and its preparation. Technical reports on the analyses carried out are also drawn up.his Laboratory has been technically organized into two different units: Optical Microscopy, Confocal Laser and Electronics, on the one hand and the Micro-Computed Tomography unit, on the other hand.

Bruker-microCT formerly known as SkyScan specializes in the development and manufacturing of systems for 3-dimensional non-destructive investigation of an object's internal microstructure - microtomography or micro-CT. Building on more than twenty years experience, SkyScan was able to construct the first commercial desktop microtomograph in 1995. The standard commercial microtomography systems from SkyScan today reach a spatial resolution in the submicron range.

"The Imaging and Medical beamline provides medical researchers with 'x-ray vision': dynamic 3D x-ray imaging at incredibly high resolution so as to reveal minute differences at the interface of air, tissues and bones: the starting point of many diseases. It can visualise blood vascularisation, air movement in the lung, and tissue and organ structure in far greater detail than that possible with MRI.
