Main Applications
The Tecnai Spirit T12 is primarily used for routine room-temperature electron microscopy, including:
- Quality control by negative staining
- Morphological analysis of purified macromolecules, complexes, nanoparticles, and viruses
- Preliminary single-particle analysis
- Conventional cellular electron microscopy
- Observation of resin-embedded ultrathin sections
- Immunolabelling experiments
Its wide field of view makes it particularly suitable for sample assessment, screening, and conventional ultrastructural analysis.
