FIB-SEM - Thermo Fisher BioHydra (Irchel)

BioHydra

 

The Thermo Fisher BioHydra is a dual beam FIB-SEM microscope that enables sample preparation for in situ electron cryotomography studies by on-grid lamellae milling, lift-out and waffle methods.

The instrument features:

  • Elstar scanning electron microscopy column
  • four sources of plasma (Ar, Xe, O, N) for site specific ablation of biological material
  • nanomanipulator for lift-out
  • incorporated fluorescent light microscope for correlative light-electron microscopy studies

Location

University Zurich, Irchel Campus, Room Y42-F-66
