Transmission electron cryomicroscopy

Index Transmission electron cryomicroscopy

Transmission electron cryomicroscopy (CryoTEM) is a form of cryogenic electron microscopy, more specifically a type of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) where the sample is studied at cryogenic temperatures (generally liquid-nitrogen temperatures). [1]
