The three centers are equipped and offer access for a cryo-electron microscope Titan G4 (Thermo Fisher Scientific)
Technical specification :
The Titan Krios G4 is the latest generation of electron microscopes for the observation of biological specimens at high resolution. It benefits from the latest technologies for improved contrast, as well as the latest generation of direct electron detectors (Falcon4i). Its high stability is very well adapted to long, high resolution data recording sessions, in a fully automated manner.
