Research Publications

Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility houses FEI Titan Krios microscope that offers data collection for life sciences while incorporating materials science applications. Used for creating super high definition 3D images of atoms and molecules. Facility allows for fully automated atomic resolution single particle and high contrast tomography tilt-series data collection. Additional microscopy components permit a full range of materials science applications, including EELS, STEM, and DPC. Facility also houses ThermoFisher Arctica G2.
