In 1996 the "Electronics Laboratory" became "Laboratory of Electron Microscopy" and was upgraded from a Servicing to an Academic unit and was incorporated into the Faculty of Agricultural Biotechnology.  

The EM Lab since 1981 has been providing its services to all the University Departments in the field of Electron Microscopy as well as to other Universities, Research Institutes
