    Cryo Electron Miroscopy

    Cryo-EM-Facility

     

    The facility for electron cryo microscopy provides facilitated access to a Titan-Krios G3 with an X-FEG source, 300 kV and a Falcon III camera with direct electron detection. The set-up is optimized for high-resolution, high throughput single particle acquisition in linear or counting mode using EPU.

    The facility started in 2018. Since then it has served more than 15 groups from 5 different universities.

    Access is fee-based and regulated by access rules, which can be downloaded here.

    If you are interested in access , please contact cryo-em@uni-wuerzburg.de
