Aquilos 2 cryo-dualbeam microscope set up in lab

Reserve time

Aquilos 2 Datasheet

Allows for cryo-FIB preparation of thin biological and materials science samples in the hydrated and native state.

Key features

  • Facilitates in-situ preparation of cryo preserved cellular and materials science samples destined for high-resolution cryo-tomography on the Krios G4.

  • Cryo preservation takes advantage of superior ultrastructural preservation and reduced ion beam sensitivity during milling.

  • EasyLift NanoManipulator expediates site specific lamella removal from bulk specimens • Auto Slice and View software can be utilized to acquire 3D datasets while in the SEM.

  • The Aquilos2 Cryo-FIB is accompanied by the Leica Microsystems Thunder imager for correlative Cryo-LM and Cryo-FIB for feature of interest identification. Correlate multiple imaging modulates on a single specimen with integrated Maps software.
