Liquid phase EM
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.
Liquid Phase Electron Microscopy
Novel sample cells for electron microscopy using sheets of graphene have been developed and fabricated. These enable liquid droplets to be encapsulated for the study of biomolecules in solution at high resolution. The new cells are compatible with all standard sample holders and can be used in any transmission electron microscope. They will allow monitoring of the dynamics of biomolecules and their interactions in intact cells.
Katie Beirns receives Don Claugher Award
Katie Beirns, PhD student at the Rosalind Franklin Institute and the University of Oxford, has been awarded the Don Claugher Award by the Society of Electron Microscope Technology (SEMT). The award is given in memory of Don Claugher, who was…
New cutting-edge microscope for the UK
The UK’s first Chromatic Aberration-Corrected Electron Microscope has arrived at the Rosalind Franklin Institute. This state-of-the-art instrument will significantly enhance the resolution limits for biological sample imaging, especially for thicker specimens. This delivery marks the final instalment of three advanced…
