Lamella of complex nanomaterials frequently suffer from Ga+ induced damage, bending, delamination, thermal damage, redeposition artefacts, and in severe cases, complete destruction of critical structures. This is especially true of fragile and weakly bonded organic-inorganic interfaces. A solution to many of these challenges is the integration of a low energy glancing angle Ar+/Xe+ ion beam together with the Ga+ FIB-SEM. Using this TripleBeamTM technique the Ar+/Xe+ beam can be seamlessly integrated in the lamella preparation workflow. This provides a lower damage alternative to low kV Ga+ without the difficulty of placement of the comparatively large beam on a thin lamella. It also enables effective thinning even on bent lamella whilst offering greater thickness uniformity over wider areas. Challenging materials can be prepared as uniform, ultra-thin lamella quickly and repeatedly using this technique.

Ongoing research and development in the field of organic-inorganic interfaces will often require high performance electron microscopes to study the structures in depth at a sufficient resolution to identify the structures of interest. These studies are often at a molecular level, and due to the beam sensitive nature of the organic components, cryo-TEMs are usually the tool of preference for studying such materials in a close to native state at high magnification.
JEOL can provide a number of TEMs to fulfil the cryo-TEM requirement, from conventional low cost cryo-TEM imaging tools, all the way up to state of the art fully automated cryo-TEMs.
At 120kV the JEM-1400Flash is a very capable cryo-TEM and can certainly be used to visualise composite structures when using a suitable cryo-transfer specimen holder. As many people will know the JEM-1400Flash is currently being used in the development of a field emission 100kV cryoTEM, specifically for cryo-specimen screening at high performance levels.
At an intermediate level the JEM-2100Plus has the advantage of 200kV, which can reduce beam induced damage, and provide high performance. This is useful for cryo electron tomography (CryoET), which is a technique frequently used in the study of some combined organic-inorganic samples.
The addition of field emission improves the source coherence and as a result provides more contrast. The JEM-F200 Cryo-TEM has a choice of Schottky or cold field emission sources, and coupled with the SpecPorter for trouble free cryo specimen transfer, this instrument is ideal for studying electron beam sensitive samples. The JEM-F200 cryo-TEM is a high performance and highly flexible TEM and can be used for protein screening, data acquisition, cryo-ET, and micro-ED studies.
To conclude this presentation we will introduce the latest 300kV automated cryo-TEM from JEOL. This instrument provides high contrast imaging for vitrified protein samples in particular, using the standard cold field emission source and Omega filter. The advantage of this configuration is that high resolution data can typically be generated from fewer images, thus improving the throughput of this instrument. We will highlight some of the differences, whilst at the same time providing some examples to show the advantages of the updated CRYO ARM™ microscope.

Radboudumc University Medical Center, NL
Anat Akiva is an assistant professor (since 2019) in matrix calcification and the coordinator of the Electron Microscopy Center at the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
After completing her PhD in Israel (2016), at the Weizmann Institute of Science on studying mechanisms of bone formation, she moved to the Netherlands where she worked in Eindhoven University of Technology on building a bone organoid. In her research Anat combines a variety of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to understand the organic-inorganic interfaces that control mineralization in biology.
Her current research focus lies on the understanding of the mechanisms of pathological calcification and bone related diseases.

University of Leeds, UK
Dr. George Heath is a University Academic Fellow at the University of Leeds in the School of Physics and Astronomy and School of Biomedical Sciences. His PhD work with Prof Stephen Evans and Dr Simon Connell investigated a range of lipid membrane and protein systems using atomic force microscopy (AFM) including actin assembly at membranes, protein diffusion and lipid phase behaviour. He remained in Leeds to perform postdoctoral research, moving across to the School of Biomedical Sciences to work with Prof Lars Jeuken designing bottom up approaches to mimic multi-layered membrane protein systems to understand the biological processes and exploit their properties for biotechnology applications. He then completed a second postdoctoral position in New York working with Prof Simon Scheuring at Weill Cornell Medicine of Cornell University. Here he developed and applied new high-speed AFM methods to study membrane proteins before returning to Leeds in 2019 to start an independent position as University Academic Fellow. His current research focuses on further developing high-speed AFM techniques to study the structural dynamics of complex single biomolecules on the sub nanometre scale to increase our understanding of diseases and improve medicine.
Chris is Principal Scientist at the electron Physical Science Imaging Centre, a UK national facility for aberration corrected electron microscopy. His current research focus is developing techniques for low dose, low energy electron imaging.

Peng Wang is a professor leading a Sub-atomic Resolution Electron Microscopy Laboratory at Nanjing University, China. His research interests have been in developing and implementing aberration-corrected STEM imaging and EELS to characterize functional materials at atomic scales from two to three dimensions. His current work is focused on advancing iterative ptychography which provides high phase contrast in electron micrsocopy at low dose, giving a huge benefit for phase objects (such as organic matter). Previously he held different posts in several UK Institutions, including the University of Oxford, SuperSTEM at Daresbury and the University of Liverpool. He is a member of the Institute of Physics (MInstP) and a committee member of Chinese Crystallography Society (CCS), Chinese Electron Microscopy Society (CEMS) and Youth Committee of Chinese Materials Research Society (CMRS) and Chinese Physics Society (CPS).
