CryoEM Imaging Service—Tecnai G2 Spirit

Cryo-electron microscopy (CryoEM) applies cryo-fixation technology to observe samples with a transmission electron microscope at low temperatures, to obtain the microscopic technology of the structure of biological macromolecules. After the piece is frozen and placed in the electron microscope, the electrons are scattered through the sample and the nearby ice layer. Use the detector and lens system to image and record the scattered signal, then process the signal, and finally use the three-dimensional reconstruction technology to obtain the three-dimensional structure of the sample. CryoEM imaging services are provided by CD BioSciences based on Tecnai G2 Spirit.
