Nikon Ti-U Description

Users have access to a Nikon Ti-U inverted fluorescence microscope with a FEI Cryo Stage2 system. It allows screening of electron microscopy grids by means of light microscopy prior to an investigation by scanning electron microscope (SEM) or transmission electron microscope (TEM). The microscope is outfitted with 4 objective lenses with phase contrast: 4x, 20x, 40x and 50x with an inline 1.5x magnification to allow 6x, 30x, 60x and 75x magnifications. Also, we have a homemade liquid nitrogen gravity dosing system to maintain the temperature of the system below -150C for imaging. All 4 objective lenses are custom fitted to be compatible for imaging (without removal) when the FEI Cryo Stage2 mounted.

Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM)

Use of fluorescent proteins to image living cells is a powerful technique to localize proteins and examine substructures of cells. However, fluorescent microscopy methods lacks the fine structural information to interpret many of these signals. The resolution of light-microscopy based methods is around 200-500nm and a single fluorescent spot may arise from several vesicles or parts of organelles. Combining CryoEM techniques with light microscopy allows for localization of a wider spectrum of molecules against the structural background of a well preserved cellular architecture. Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy combines sensitive protein-detection methods with detailed information on the substructure of intracellular compartments in the intermediate resolution range (0.5-2.0nm).

The microscope is outfitted with 4 objective lenses with phase contrast: 4x, 20x, 40x and 50x with an inline 1.5x magnification to allow 6x, 30x, 60x and 75x magnifications. Also, we have a homemade liquid nitrogen gravity dosing system to maintain the temperature of the system below -150C for imaging. All 4 objective lenses are custom fitted to be compatible for imaging (without removal) when the FEI Cryo Stage2 mounted.

Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM)

Use of fluorescent proteins to image living cells is a powerful technique to localize proteins and examine substructures of cells. However, fluorescent microscopy methods lacks the fine structural information to interpret many of these signals. The resolution of light-microscopy based methods is around 200-500nm and a single fluorescent spot may arise from several vesicles or parts of organelles. Combining Cryo EM techniques with light microscopy allows for localization of a wider spectrum of molecules against the structural background of a well preserved cellular architecture. Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy combines sensitive protein-detection methods with detailed information on the substructure of intracellular compartments in the intermediate resolution range (0.5-2.0nm). d13 3

The CryoStage2? System (the correlative stage for microscopy) is a liquid nitrogen cooled microscope stage which can be used on inverted fluorescence research microscopes. It allows screening of electron microscopy grids by means of light microscopy prior to an investigation by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
