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.
The 13th Instruct-ERIC Internship call is now open, offering the chance for PhD students and early-stage postdoctoral fellows to conduct a research visit of 3-6 months in a laboratory in one of Instruct's 16 members.
The main audience is users with at least basic knowledge of how to work in a Linux environment.
