Taking care of Electron Microscopy @mpibp.bsky.social. Yay for #cryoEM and #cryoET ❄️🔬but frozen is not always better. Also, #viruses 🦠 rule.

„Jugend Forscht 2025” the German outreach - it’s the youth science competition aiming to interest young scholars in science - this year also #cryoEM

Dynamic conical dark field imaging alignments could just as well be renamed to comical DF alignments - I think this looks hilarious.

Ok, the title might be a bit over the top - but I still think this is an excellent way of telling the story of AF-2 (despite no mention of cryoEM, and instead "a huge chunk of whale meat from Peru").

We will soon welcome @svenklumpe.bsky.social to the Vienna BioCenter, where he will use cryo-Electron Tomography to study - among other things - how #transposons shape #germlines. Sven's lab will be @imbavienna.bsky.social *AND* the IMP. Full story: www.viennabiocenter.org/about/news/s...

Just learned that *knee surgery* is required for STEM on a Krios cryoEM🤨? I might have misunderstood… but ours got a brand new extra knee 🤷🏻‍♀️

In case you wondered what it looks like "in real life" when the FluScreen of a Krios cryoEM is retracted/inserted: here you go. ❄️🔬

Structural biology inside multicellular specimens using electron cryotomography by @idocaspy.bsky.social @zhexinwang.bsky.social out now in Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics doi.org/10.1017/S003...
