Tundra Cryo TEM
The Tundra Cryo TEM is equipped with an x-FEG and Falcon-C Direct Detector. It has a semi autoloader using autogrids, allowing for the retrieval of grids in case a user would like to continue imaging them on other cryo TEMs. It is run with Smart EPU and can be used for both screening of cryo grids, as well as cryo and room temperature single particle data acquisition.

Tecnai F20 TEM
The Tecnai F20 TEM with a FEG and Compustage is equipped with a Gatan Oneview CMOS camera. It can be controlled via SerialEM software for tomographic and single particle data acquisition and has ambient and cryo sample holders.

FEI Morgagni
The FEI Morgagni, operated at 80kV, with an AMT Nanosprint5 camera, is used for screening grids of negative stain single particle and plastic sections.
