Meet the scientists using the Hydra Bio Plasma-FIB

“We are increasingly being challenged to understand how to improve crop resilience to environmental stress and disease. The remarkable capabilities of our new Hydra vEM will allow us the unprecedented ability to reconstruct entire plant cells and tissue with exquisite detail. This technology will allow us to “freeze” organisms in time and space and build intricate 3D models that will help us solve our critical food security challenges.”

 

Kirk J. Czymmek, Principal Investigator, Director Advanced Bioimaging Laboratory, Donald Danforth Plant Science Center

“My lab is using cryo tomography to study the architecture of sarcomeres, the smallest subunits of striated muscle. Previously, we used isolated myofibrils to accomplish our goal. Now we are using the Hydra and cryo-lift out to be able to study muscle structures directly in the native muscle fibres.”
