What you learn
- How you can reduce ice growth on your lamellae
- How you can create more high-quality lamellae per session, and thereby enhancing the resolution of your images
Ice growth on lamellae is one of the most common problems in cryogenic electron microscopy, limiting researchers from acquiring high-resolution 3D structures of cellular samples. CERES Ice Shield consists of a cryo-shutter that protects the sample from ice contamination originating from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) column and increases the local vacuum through cryo-pumping. This greatly reduces ice contamination and enhances your imaging quality.
