Birkbeck EM lab is located in an outstanding, collaborative
environment for structural, molecular and cellular biology, in
the Crystallography section of the Department of Biological
Sciences, which forms part of the joint Institute for Structural
and Molecular Biology with University College London. The EM lab
is equipped with a 300 kV Polara microscope and a 200 kV FEG
system with K2 and DE20 direct electron detectors, 120 kV, 100
kV cryo microscopes, and new funding for a latest generation
cryo microscope. We also have sample preparation equipment for
single particles, high pressure freezing, vitrified sections and
freeze substitution. <o:p></o:p></span> <span
