UltrAuFoil Holey Gold Films

Product Description

These recently developed ultra-stable gold supports for electron cryomicroscopy reduce the movement of frozen specimens during imaging. This improves image contrast and quality leading to better 3D reconstruction in TEM tomography applications.

During imaging at cryo-temperatures, traditional carbon supports move, particularly at the beginning of irradiation. This movement blurs images and makes it difficult to determine the structures of small and challenging molecules
