Umeå seminar series: Cryo-focused ion beam milling (cryo-FIB-SEM): Taking you where you need to go
May 6, 2025 @ 12:00 – 13:00 CEST
SciLifeLab Site Umeå/KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series
Speaker: Erin Schexnaydre, Staff scientist, Umeå Centre for Electron Microscopy (UCEM), Umeå University
Short description: Cryo-focused ion beam milling (cryo-FIB) is a powerful technique. Its power comes from its versatility to study biological systems in vitro or in situ, i.e. within cells or tissue. It has the ability to reach uncharted regions in biological systems. Cryo-FIB milling is used to expose 100–250 nm thin sections (called lamella) in intact frozen cells and tissue. The process allows access into the cells for high-resolution cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and structure determination of biomolecules in their native environment.
