Angus Kirkland
University of Oxford Angus Kirkland completed his MA and PhD at the University of Cambridge using high resolution electron microscopy to study the structures of colloidal metals. Following a post-doctoral Fellowship Angus was elected to the Ramsay Memorial Trust Research…
Aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope
Ruska is an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope (TEM) used to explore novel methods to study radiation sensitive specimens such as biological materials that have been cryogenically preserved or encapsulated in liquid for dynamic observations.
Relativistic Ultrafast Electron and Diffraction Imaging facility (RUEDI)
RUEDI will be a truly unique instrument. Its ultrafast capabilities will allow structural changes in material to be observed and measured in time-resolved experiments for the first time. RUEDI will support multi-disciplinary research with five scientific themes – Dynamics of…
BioCOP
The BioCOP: ‘pushing the boundaries’ of biological imaging across space and time.
Liquid Phase Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy
Transient, dynamic assemblies of biomolecules in solution are the primary driving forces behind biology. However, studying these at high resolutions requires the use of electron microscopes (EM), which need extremely high vacuums to function.
Electron Detector Development
Atomic resolution imaging with electrons causes sample damage. The information per unit of damage is dependent on sample thickness and beam energy.
Electron Diffraction
MicroED is an emerging technology that exploits the strong interaction of electrons to reveal the structures of molecules from vanishingly small crystals.
Cryo-ptycho-tomography
Developing a novel technique using cryo-electron ptychography to perform tomographic characterisation of biological processes at cellular scales, enabling detailed study of rare and complex structures in their native environments.
Chromatic Correction
Knoll, the first chromatic aberration-corrected electron microscope in the UK housed at the Franklin, will push the current resolution limits for biological samples by correcting energy variations in the electron beam.
Cryogenic Electron Microscope (cryoARM)
Crewe is a first-generation cryogenic electron microscope based on JEOL’s atomic resolution microscope platform (ARM).
