Electron microscopy is a technique used to study the ultrastructure of macromolecules, cells, and tissues at high resolution. An aqueous biological sample is rapidly frozen and bombarded with electrons, and a detector senses how the electrons scatter to allow a computer to reconstruct a 3D image of the molecule. Cryo-electron microscopy services are useful when samples are small, difficult to crystallize, require atomic-level details, involve large biomolecular complexes, or analyzing native state structures is important.
