Electron Microscope Imaging Service—ThermoScientific Aquilos 2 Cryo-Dualbeam

Electron microscopes can excite electrons to form images that magnify micron and nanostructures up to 10 million times, providing amazing levels of fine magnification and allowing researchers to observe even individual atoms. CD BioSciences can provide innovative solutions for electron microscopy and microanalysis. We offer ThermoScientific Aquilos 2 Cryo-Dualbeam instruments that allow customers to combine high-resolution imaging with physical, elemental, chemical and electrical analysis to obtain usable data from the widest range of samples.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

ThermoScientific Aquilos 2 Cryo-Dualbeam

MANUFACTURER:

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Feature Highlights

1. Facilitates in-situ preparation of cryo preserved cellular and materials science samples destined for high-resolution cryo-tomography on the Krios G4.
2. Cryo preservation takes advantage of superior ultrastructural preservation and reduced ion beam sensitivity during milling.
3. EasyLift NanoManipulator expediates site specific lamella removal from bulk specimens • Auto Slice and View software can be utilized to acquire 3D datasets while in the SEM.
4. The Aquilos2 Cryo-FIB is accompanied by the Leica Microsystems Thunder imager for correlative Cryo-LM and Cryo-FIB for feature of interest identification. Correlate multiple imaging modulates on a single specimen with integrated Maps software.

Summary

Allows for cryo-FIB preparation of thin biological and materials science samples in the hydrated and native state.
