Organization profile
The Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) Core at the Penn State College of Medicine was established in 2020 to meet the modern demand for molecular imaging of both purified and cellular structures, and contains instruments for sample preparation as well as data collection. The crown jewel of the facility is a state-of-the-art Titan Krios (Thermo Fisher) cryo-transmission electron microscope that is fully equipped for automated data collection. In addition, the facility houses a JEM 2100 (JEOL) screening microscope and an LSM-980 (Zeiss) Cryo-Confocal microscope.
