Glacios 2 Cryo-TEM


Glacios 2 Cryo‑TEM

Capabilities

  • 200 kV cryogenic transmission electron microscope optimized for high-resolution imaging of biological macromolecules.
  • High throughput cryo‑TEM image acquisition: fringe‑free imaging (FFI).
  • Automated cryo‑EM software maximizes ease of use and efficiency: EPU and Leginon.
  • Cryo‑EM sample screening and workflow connectivity.
  • Cryo‑ET and MicroED.

Applications

  • Determining 3D atomic structures of proteins, complexes, and assemblies (100 kDa – megadalton scale); membrane proteins in nanodiscs or detergents; and for structure‑based drug discovery.
  • Cryo‑electron tomography for cells or tissues in near‑native state when combined with cryo‑FIB.
  • Fringe‑free imaging enables fast cryo‑grids screening.
  • Supports pharma pipelines for rational drug design.
  • MicroED enables structure determination for small crystal of protein.

Access & Training

  • Available to FSU researchers, collaborators, and external users through the BSIR.
  • Training and consultation provided by facility staff for all levels of experience.
