[3dem] Upcoming webinar: Expanding cellular structural biology with CEMOVIS - 9th Dec 12 Noon CET

[Naylor, Claire E.]

Hi All,
   Just like to draw attention to a bit of a Christmas treat in the form of a very interesting webinar!

Novel in situ cryo-TEM lamella preparation methods:
Expanding cellular structural biology with CEMOVIS
With: Benoît Zuber, University of Bern
On: 12 Noon CET, 9th December 2025
Register: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.thermofisher.com/uk/en/home/events/novel-sample-preparation-methods-for-in-situ-cryo-tem.html__;!!Mih3wA!E9rycH--iBdXSFNPJ0e43fmdGy0NVe-sfVmmlIiz--DAd3UfKTpcr1Iq9dPgsfPcNUMvkKUlSjOiYw0tgrQXVw2MmdTIP_4$ 

When using cryo-electron microscopy to image cells and tissue at high resolution, samples must be thinned to 500 nm or less to ensure electron transparency. Focused ion beam (FIB) milling has become the standard method to prepare thin samples (lamellae), but other sample preparation methods can contribute valuable complementary insights.

In this webinar, Professor Benoît Zuber of the University of Bern, Switzerland, will discuss a preparation technique called cryo-electron microscopy of vitreous sections, or CEMOVIS, in which thin sections are cut with a knife. While CEMOVIS sections sustain damage, they can be sectioned in series, producing many orders of magnitude more imageable area than usual for PFIB. Plus, many regions of the sections contain intact molecular structures for comparison, making it possible to place results from cryo-lamellae into the wider cellular context.

Join this webinar to:


  *   Discover how Professor Zuber was able to obtain high-resolution reconstructions from CEMOVIS sections
  *   See how the sections keep molecular structures intact in many regions despite damage from the technique
  *   Learn how complementary techniques can help place cryo-lamellae in the wider cellular context

Thanks, and look forward to seeing some of you there,
Claire
