Welcome
to the cryo-EM facility at DSB-UniPD
December 2024
Our Glacios cryo-TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) equipped with a Falcon4i detector is now operational. Get in touch if you think it can help your science (It can!).
​
We are grateful to the "Departments of Excellence 2023-2027" framework and a generous private donor that made the purchase of the instrument possible. Also, massive thanks to DSB@UniPD (particularly Dr Angelita Tottene - you are a star!) for its support and to Thermo Fisher Scientific Italia for the very collaborative and professional approach to things.
​
Looking forward to seeing you at the official launch of the facility in 2025.
