Description

This FEI Tecnai T-12 cryo-transmission electron microscope (TEM) complements EMSL's broader microscopy suite and JEOL 2010 analytical high-resolution TEM. The cutting-edge capabilities of the T-12 cryo-TEM include: (1) a high-tilt stage that allows image tilt series to be obtained for three-dimensional reconstruction using electron tomography, and (2) a cryostage for observing samples in a frozen-hydrated state. The T-12 cryo-TEM is primarily devoted to biological samples involving morphological and immuno-cyto chemistry studies, but it also supports imaging of samples such as soft materials and polymers
