Main Applications
The Tecnai F20 is a versatile cryo-equipped transmission electron microscope used for both room-temperature and cryogenic imaging.
Applications include:
- Negative staining
- Cellular electron microscopy
- Cryogenic grid screening
- Single-particle cryo-EM
- Cryo-electron tomography
- Observation of CEMOVIS sections
- Tomography of cellular and molecular specimens
- Microcrystal electron diffraction, or MicroED
The side-entry cryogenic holders allow vitrified specimens to be observed and tilt series to be acquired for tomographic reconstruction.
