3rd iteration of Cryo-EM workshop

The goal of the workshop is to teach users the best practices in sample preparation for cryo-EM imaging. The workshop will be principally hands-on with students preparing vitrified samples on the latest generation of plunge-freezing devices. They will then have the opportunity to subsequently screen these samples with the eBIC Titan Krios and Talos Arctica electron microscopes.

Topics

Introductory Lectures:

• An introduction to the basics of cryo-EM and cryo-ET
• The complete guide to sample vitrificationÂ

Hands-on sessions:

• Sample preparation for single particle cryo-EM
• Sample screening at eBIC and an introduction to data collection on Titan Krios and Talos Arctica
