title: Hazards related to EM-laboratory instrumentation.
abstract: In spite of the fact that there is a diversity of equipment in electron microscopy laboratories, potential hazards can be grouped in five areas: radiation, electricity, implosion, explosion, and cryogens. This presentation relates these areas to health hazards associated with the use and operation of various instruments and preparatory equipment typical for an EM laboratory.
