SavvyScan2: enhancements to a multichannel flexible scanning TEM system

LS 2: Cryo-tomography

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) and cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) provide us a high-resolution gateway to the molecular processes that underlie life. These techniques allow us to view biological molecules in their native state and at high resolution, to image and determine their dynamics and, moreover, their socio-molecular interactions. Still, improvements and developments in sample preparation, workflows that integrate different tools and co-localization strategies, along with new image processing approaches are needed to exploit the full potential of these methods. This session will discuss the latest technological advances and present tangible examples that demonstrate the strength of both cryoEM and cryoET.

Cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-electron tomography

Abstract talk

Cryo-STEM tomography – a powerful technique

IM 4: Development of cryo-EM instrumentation and techniques

Technological advances steadily push the limits of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). In recent years, novel developments in cryo-EM instrumentation as well as newly established workflows enabled groundbreaking insights in both, life sciences and material sciences.
In this session we will discuss new developments in experimental cryogenic techniques, cryo-sample preparation as well as instrumental capabilities applied across different fields.
Contributions are welcome from, but not restricted to, the following areas: SEM, FIB, TEM, STEM and CLEM at cryogenic temperatures, including hardware improvements, cryo-stages, cryogenic sample preparation techniques used for EM, measurements of local temperature as well as image processing for cryo-EM.
