Three good news at EMF to begin the year

  1. The article Targeted imaging of specialized plant cell walls by improved cryo-CLEM and cryo-electron tomography is published in Nature Communications! It is a perfect example of synergy between the EMF that is providing the technical expertise and a research group that has a biological question to answer. In this particular case, the group of Niko Geldner accepts to embark in this technical development. It is the most efficient way for a research group too run an ambitious project at EMF. We are happy to welcome and train researchers in the frame of commonly founded projects! Such « embedded researcher » are becoming the only way to tackle challenging projects in Electron Microscopy.
  2. Thanks to generous donators, the iFLM is installed on our Aquilos 2 cryo-FIBSEM. It allows to visualise the fluorescence in the sample inside the chamber of the microscope in cryo-mode. We expect that it accelerates our pipelines, diminishes contamination and improve the cryo-CLEM accuracy!
  3. The Apreo for Volumescope and array-tomography is installed at EPFL. It is part of a R’Equip where researchers from Unil participate by proposing projects. the EMF team is trained to use it and we are beginning to run projects requiring large 3D volume or array tomography. Such an optimization of the ressource between Unil and EPFL is an asset for the researchers !
