A powerful new detector is boosting resolution at 100 kV

As one of the most cost effective and user-friendly cryo-electron microscopes available, the Thermo Scientific Tundra Cryo-TEM helps bring structural determination to every biochemistry lab. In addition to being ideal for training scientists who are new to cryo-electron microscopy, it can also be used for sample optimization to significantly boost productivity in existing facilities.

Watch our on-demand virtual event to learn how the combination of the Tundra Cryo-TEM with the Falcon C Detector is providing deeper insights, even for challenging proteins.

In this webinar, you will learn:
  • How advances in resolution with a direct electron detector on a 100 kV microscope can provide deeper insights into challenging proteins
  • The various applications the Tundra Cryo-TEM can support
  • How the Tundra Cryo-TEM can help labs bring cryo-EM capabilities into their institution

Jeff Lengyel, Director of Product Marketing, Thermo Fisher Scientific

Jeff Lengyel, Director of Product Marketing, Thermo Fisher Scientific

Jeff received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Cambridge as a Health Sciences Scholar of the University of Cambridge and the National Institutes of Health. Through this scholarship, he was mentored by Professor Richard Perham of Cambridge and Dr. Sriram Subramaniam of the NIH. For his doctoral research, Jeff studied the pyruvate dehydrogenase using a combination of cryo-EM and biophysical techniques. Before entering his current role as director of product marketing for life sciences electron microscopy, his held positions as Americas principal scientist for cryo-EM, product marketing manager for structural biology, on-site team lead for the FEI/NIH Living Lab, and senior Titan Krios Cryo-TEM applications specialist.

Lingbo Yu, Product Marketing Manager, Thermo Fisher Scientific

Lingbo received her Ph.D. from the University of Vermont working on algorithms specifically designed for low-dose cryo-EM images of biological samples in the lab of Michael Radermacher. She also worked on the FEI/NIH Living Lab project as a software developer optimizing automated single particle data collection. Later, Lingbo moved to the Netherlands and joined Thermo Fisher Scientific as a product marketing manager for life sciences electron microscopy.

Adrian Koh, Field Applications Scientist, Thermo Fisher Scientific

Adrian is a structural biologist specializing in single particle cryo-EM, biochemistry, and molecular biology. While earning his Ph.D. at Nagoya University, he solved the structure of a bacterial actin homologue from Clostridium botulinum (Botox-producing bacteria), which resulted in the first known model of a novel filament. For his post-doctoral work, he joined the Brown lab at Harvard Medical School, where he studied microtubule associated proteins in cilia using cryo-EM. He joined Thermo Fisher Scientific as a trainer and is now on the applications development team. His work with collaborators from the MRC led to a recent publication describing the in vitro assembly of recombinant tau proteins into more than 70 structures identical to those observed in human patients, thus paving the way for faster drug design and development for Alzheimer’s disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
