Modern electron optics produce high resolution images of a variety of sample types including thin sections, negative stain on grids and freeze-fracture replicas.

Features

  • Accelerating voltages from 40kV to 120kV using a tungsten filament; a highly stable goniometer controls x, y, z and tilt positions.
  • Equipped with a Gatan 4k x 4k digital CMOS camera (Model 1816)
  • Sample preparation equipment available for cutting thin sections, freezing thin samples on grids and freezing larger samples with a high pressure freezer.
  • Accessories include a Gatan 626 cryostage, pumping station and temperature control unit for examining thin samples embedded in amorphous ice using low-dose conditions.
  • SerialEM software now available! Create montages for publication or sample searching, collect tilt series, and benefit from automated system alignment.
  • Assistance and training available for sample preparation and examination of specimens.
