EMBL Heidelberg


The Instruct Centre at EMBL Heidelberg provides access to cutting-edge cryo-EM instrumentation


The Instruct Centre EMBL-Heidelberg specialises in high-resolution cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of biological samples, supporting users for single-particle and tomography projects.

 

Based in the new EMBL Imaging Centre the cryo-EM platform hosts a Glacios and a Titan Krios equipped with a Falcon 4EC direct electron detector. Both microscopes are also equipped with an automatic sample loading system and configured for automatic data acquisition.

 

This facility provides users with imaging services across different scales of resolution from molecules to organisms. The centre staff supports users with project planning, sample preparation, microscope selection and operation, providing full-service sample handling and data collection, and organises courses and workshops to external visitors at different levels. The Imaging Centre at EMBL Heidelberg is accessible for in person visits, or can be accessed fully remotely.
