Transmission Electron Microscopes

Krios G4

In partnership with the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute

Flagship instrument for cryoEM single particle, routinely running at 300kV but with possibilities of changing to 200kV and 100kV on demand.

Equipped with an autoloader for high throughput sample obervation. Equipped with a Falcon 4 direct detector as well as a  Gatan bio quantum energy filter with a K3 direct detector and an upper CETA 4x4k CMOS camera. Also equipped with phase plate for increased contrast of small proteins.

The main applications of this microscope are:

  • Structural analysis of isolated particles (cryo EM single particle)
  • cryo tomography (3D) of cells, tissues or materials
