<font size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">NeCEN is the advanced cryo electron microscopy facility for the Netherlands and is equipped with two Titan Krios TEMs highly suitable to explore complex biological structures with single particle cryo EM and with
cryo electron tomography. One Titan is equipped with a Falcon 2 direct electron detector, HAADF STEM, an FEI phase plate and with a Gatan GIF and K2 (Summit) director electron detector. The other Titan is equipped with an XFEG, HAADF-STEM, Cs Corrector and
Falcon 2 direct electron detector. NeCEN is expanding both its team and resources and has a close collaboration with FEI Company, the manufacturer of the Titan Krios microscopes, and is used as demonstration site of flagship cryo EM instrumentation.</span></font></div>
