#CryoET and 3D image analysis reveals liposome size, shape, lamellarity, and drug encapsulation. This tomogram of liposomal doxorubicin particles was collected with the Glacios Cryo-TEM and segmented with Amira Software. Chat with our #cryoEM team here: ter.li/gdpxg0ts

Our first #cryoEM map from the Krios 5 recently installed at Utrecht University as part of the EMPower-funded upgrades to NeCEN. Hopefully the first of many more!

🤷🏻‍♀️ Idk why I have two Autoloader parts left over from this cryoEM build. Should keep them as spare parts I guess.
A completed plastic brick model of an electron microscope, but two extra bricks are left over.
