Helios Hydra V (ThermoScientific) comprises immersion SEM column for high-resolution SEM imaging and a four gas (Xe,Ar,O,N) plasma-FIB for efficient material ablation.
The available services will focus on the targeted lamella preparation using correlative light-electron microscopy and other correlative studies thanks to the wide-field fluorescence microscope integrated to the SEM chamber. In addition, Helios Hydra is available for FIB/SEM volume imaging under cryo- and room-temperatures conditions to support research focusing on ultrastructural analysis of the whole cells and tissue regions.
This is a reminder to apply for the Instruct-ERIC R&D Pilot Call - get funding of up to €15,000!
Closing 14:00 CEST on 15 April, the Instruct-ERIC R&D Funding Call invites early career researchers to submit proposals to access Instruct technology, equipment, and expertise from our 27 facilities across Europe for small scale pilot research projects in integrated structural biology.
Register now for the 32nd edition of the Instruct-ERIC Structure Meets Function webinar series, taking place on Zoom, 17 April at 11:00 CEST.
The latest webinar will have two speakers who have accessed the Instruct-ERIC facilities, expertise, and machinery via the ISIDORe project.
