Running and maintaining cryoTEMs for external service provision @EMBL Imaging Centre. Mainly SPA but also cryoET. SerialEM fan!

Two more recordings from the #SerialEM Community Meeting 2026 are available on our channel at vimeo.com/serialem : * D. Bollschweiler & T. Schaefer - [...] A Multi-User Service Facility Perspective on SerialEM * P. Kirchweger - Advances in cryo-STET: from 3D-cryo-STET to 3.5D- and 4D-cryo-STET

SerialEM Talks and Tutorials

SerialEM is a widely-used program that supports several kinds of automated acquisition from transmission electron microscopes: tilt series, single particle data,…

In a series of 3 papers and preprints, we’re thrilled to share with you the working laser phase plate. In collaboration with research led by Holger Müller at UC Berkeley, this is a huge innovation in imaging to make small and faint objects inside cells visible. bit.ly/4vK9LVn
