Notes:
- The service is limited to data collection. Data analysis (image processing and 3D reconstruction) is not included in the service.
- This facility specializes in cryo-EM imaging for 3-D reconstruction of samples that need to be frozen-hydrated to preserve structure integrity. Conventional EM studies that need only 2-D imaging of samples at room temperature are provided by Purdue Electron Microscopy Facility (a different Purdue facility)
