Practical Approaches for Cryo-FIB Milling and Applications for Cellular Cryo-Electron Tomography. [PDF]
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is a powerful technique to examine cellular structures as they exist in situ. However, direct imaging by TEM for cryo-ET is limited to specimens up to ∼400 nm in thickness, narrowing its applicability to areas such as cellular projections or small bacteria and viruses.

Cryo-focused Ion Beam Sample Preparation for Imaging Vitreous Cells by Cryo-electron Tomography [PDF]
Cryo-electron tomography (CET) is a well-established technique for imaging cellular and molecular structures at sub-nanometer resolution. As the method is limited to samples that are thinner than 500 nm, suitable sample preparation is required to attain ...

In situ protein micro-crystal fabrication by cryo-FIB for electron diffraction. [PDF]
Micro-electron diffraction (MicroED) is an emerging technique to use cryo-electron microscope to study the crystal structures of macromolecule from its micro-/nano-crystals, which are not suitable for conventional X-ray crystallography. However, this technique has been prevented for its wide application by the limited availability of producing good ...

Cryo-FIB-SEM as a promising tool for localizing proteins in 3D
Focused Ion Beam-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) is an invaluable tool to visualize the 3D architecture of cell constituents and map cell networks. Recently, amorphous ice embedding techniques have been associated with FIB-SEM to ensure that the biological material remains as close as possible to its native state.

Motion-corrected Noise2Noise denoising for structural analysis of cells and tissues with (cryo-)FIB/SEM [PDF]
Motivation (Cryo-)FIB/SEM enables 3D ultrastructural analysis of cells and tissues at nanoscale resolution. However, its characteristically low signal-to-noise ratio severely hinders interpretation of the volume data.

Cryo‐FIB‐lift‐out: practically impossible to practical reality [PDF]
SummaryIn this paper, we explore the development of the Cryo‐Lift‐Out (cryo‐LO) technique as preparation tool for cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo‐TEM). What started in early work defying what was considered ‘practically impossible’ has developed into state‐of‐the‐art practical reality.

Skeletal muscle triad junction ultrastructure by Focused-Ion-Beam milling of muscle and Cryo-Electron Tomography [PDF]
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has emerged as perhaps the only practical technique for revealing nanometer-level three-dimensional structural details of subcellular macromolecular complexes in their native context, inside the cell.
