Coating & Freeze Fracturing Systems – EM SPF

by

Are you looking for an alternative cryo-fixation method to freeze your biological specimens such as cells, free-living bacteria, yeast cells, unicellular organisms etc. in their native environment without any specific preparation or addition of cryo-protectants, which could alter the initial physiological balance of the sample?

If yes, then you can cryo-immobilize them directly after being isolated from their natural habitat with the Leica EM SPF Self Pressure Freezer. U-tubes as specimen carriers keep the low density ice located predominately in the leg areas, whereas the arc area of the U-tube freezes last under high pressure.

Defined Transfer of Specimens Between Light- and Electron Microscopes

Shuttle & Find is an easy-to-use interface for the defined transfer of specimens between a light microscope and an electron microscope. It connects upright and inverted light microscopes of type SteREO Discovery, Axio Imager and Axio Observer featuring a motorized stage with all current Carl Zeiss Microscopy scanning electron microscopes and CrossBeam workstations. The main task of the interface is to precisely retrieve the regions of interest in the light microscope which were marked in the electron microscope. It is also possible to overlap the images from the two different microscopes systems.

The position data of a selected ROI can be saved to a position list and retrieved later, for instance after the transfer to another microscope or even after shipping it to another laboratory. So the advances of LM and EM systems can be combined.
