Instrumentation

We house two ThermoFisher Scientific Titan Krios operated at 300 keV each equipped with a Gatan BioQuantum GIF/K3 direct electron detector and Volta phase plates, as well as one ThermoFisher Scientific Talos Arctica operating at 200 kV equipped with Volta phase plate and Gatan K3 direct electron detector.  Both are operated using either Serial EM using automated protocols which the user will set up (EPU coming soon). Book time, view Instrument Protocols, or request training.
