Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) (CAT#: STEM-PET-0018-WXH)

Introduction

Electron Microscopy (EM) has become an extremely popular method for the ultrastructural study of macromolecules, cells, and tissues. An aqueous biological sample is frozen rapidly and irradiated with a beam of electrons. A detector senses how the electrons are scattered, and a computer reconstructs the 3D-shape of the molecule.
