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.
Technology Innovation Challenge
Multidimensional Imaging
Our aim: To develop new technologies to see the molecules of life and their dynamics with unprecedented detail.
Science update
New scanning technique overcomes longstanding challenge in cryo-SEM imaging
Researchers at the Rosalind Franklin Institute have developed a new approach to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that dramatically reduces obstructions caused by charging artefacts in frozen biological samples. The advance, described in a paper published in Nature Communications, allows scientists…
