Cryo-Electron Microscopy Resource Center (CEMRC)

The Evelyn Gruss Lipper Cryo-Electron Microscopy Resource Center (CEMRC) provides its users with a world class environment to make advances in structural biology. The center is equipped with three high end dedicated cryo-electron microscopes. The microscopy suite was meticulously and specially designed to allow these instruments to perform beyond their specified resolutions. This center provides users with the world's most stable dedicated cryo-electron microscopes optimized for high resolution single particle analysis of proteins and protein complexes as well as high resolution cellular tomography. Users work alongside CEMRC staff until they have mastered electron microscope operation at which point they work autonomously.
