Hydra Bio Plasma-FIB

Volume EM for cryo and resin-embedded samples

The Thermo Scientific Hydra Bio Plasma-FIB explores tissues to proteins through volume electron microscopy both at cryogenic and room temperatures and cellular cryo-tomography. Great results start with sample preparation, so choose from four ion species (argon, nitrogen, oxygen, and xenon) that are compatible with all commonly used sample-embedding media and preparation protocols like high-pressure tissue freezing or critical point drying to achieve the ultimate image. Hydra Bio Plasma-FIB addresses multiple workflows including high-resolution serial PFIB imaging, large area serial PFIB imaging, array tomography, correlative light and electron microscopy, and high-throughput lamella preparation for cryo-tomography.
