ASU/CASD has ordered a state-of-the-art cryo-EM, the FEI Krios (300 kV) which is suitable for both tomography (high tilt) and single particle (high resolution). The instrument is equipped with 3 detectors, including the Gatan K2, which enables users to engage in structural discovery at the forefront of what is possible using high resolution cryo-EM. This instrument was funded by an NSF grant (John Spence, PI).
The team at ASU is building an email list for the user community for a Southwest Center for Cryo-EM. They are asking that interested UA researchers contact:
