Cryo-TEM – Thermo Fisher Scientific Talos Arctica
Provide high-resolution 3D characterization of biological and biomaterial samples for detailed insights into the structure and function of complex biological system
Description
The Thermo Fisher Scientific Talos Arctica is a 200kV field emission Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscope (Cryo-TEM) managed in partnership with the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute.
This powerful, stable, and versatile system excels in delivering high-resolution 3D characterization of biological and biomaterial samples. It is particularly ideal for researchers in cell biology, structural biology, and nanotechnology. The Talos Arctica features advanced automation and high-throughput capabilities, including robotic sample handling and automated loading for up to 12 samples, enhancing data acquisition speed and efficiency. Additionally, it is sophisticated software suite supports a wide range of applications, from single-particle analysis to tomography, making it an inviable tool for researchers aiming to achieve detailed insights into the structure and function of complex biological systems.
