Welcome!
The Pittsburgh Center for CryoEM provides access to state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy to support biomedical research at the University of Pittsburgh and beyond. The centerpiece instrument is a Krios 3Gi microscope for single-particle and tomographic data collection, and for electron diffraction. It is equipped with a Volta phase plate, Selectris energy filter and a Falcon 4i direct electron detecting camera. Additionally, we offer an Aquilos 2 Focused ion beam (FIB) mill for thinning cellular samples in preparation for tomography and two Tecnai transmission electron microscopes for screening by negative stain and cryo-EM. Please see our CryoEM Core website (below) for more information.
This iLab service page is for reserving instrument time and supports billing. Please contact contact our staff with any questions.
