It combines iterative imaging with a SEM and physical slicing of the sample with a Gallium ion beam. The iteration of imaging and milling generates a stack of images that are then digitally combined to reconstruct a 3D volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the EMCF we are operating 2 FIB-SEMs, a Zeiss CrossBeam 540 and a 550.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these microscopes we can acquire datasets at high (isotropic) resolution, up to 5 nm voxel size. Nevertheless, the target volume is limited to a few (tens) of cubic micrometers, which allows us to acquire from subcellular volumes to single cells or small tissues. Examples of samples recently acquired in the EMCF are sponge cells, drosophila tissues, organoids, cultured mammalian and yeast cells, mouse tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ppms.embl.de\/planning\/?item=15\">Online Booking (540)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ppms.embl.de\/planning\/?item=207\">Online Booking (550)<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"462\" height=\"428\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Spongila.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4980\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.0841121495327102;width:296px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Spongila.png 462w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Spongila-300x278.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">Neurite-like cell in the freshwater sponge Spongilla Lacustris (Musser et al., 2021).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"131\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-s2.0-S193131282030620X-gr2_lrg-300x131.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4724\" style=\"width:397px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-s2.0-S193131282030620X-gr2_lrg-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-s2.0-S193131282030620X-gr2_lrg-1024x449.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-s2.0-S193131282030620X-gr2_lrg-768x337.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-s2.0-S193131282030620X-gr2_lrg-1536x673.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-s2.0-S193131282030620X-gr2_lrg-2048x897.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">SARS-CoV2 replication organelles in an infected cell (Cortese et al., 2020).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":123,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-title-left-aligned.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"embl_taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-256","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"embl_taxonomy_terms":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16261,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/256\/revisions\/16261"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embl_taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/electron-microscopy-core-facility\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embl_taxonomy?post=256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
