Aquilos 2 Cryo-FIB

Dedicated cryo-FIB microscope to prepare cryo-lamellas for cryo-electron tomography

The Thermo Scientific Aquilos 2 Cryo-FIB is dedicated to the preparation of thin, electron-transparent lamellas for high-resolution cellular cryo-electron tomography or MicroED of micro-crystals.  With the Aquilos 2 Cryo-FIB, you can automate steps in the workflow to produce multiple lamellas from specific programmed locations. The improved dedicated cryo-hardware provides longer run times at ultra-low contamination rates.
