MRC-LMB Electron Microscopy Facility

LMB Electron Microscopy Facility comprises a series of state-of-the-art electron microscopes and specimen preparation equipment, focusing on electron cryo-microscopy (cryoEM) of unstained biological material. We have 4x 300keV Krios TEMs, 1x 200keV Glacios TEM, 2x cryo-FIB-SEMs and other low voltage TEMs and SEM. We do training or cryoEM data collection for users. We are actively involved in research on cryoEM methodology, technical development, and research projects on structural biology.
