Funded Activity Summary

3D Cryo-FIBSEM Imaging Facility for Biological and Material Sciences. 3D Cryo-FIBSEM imaging facility for biological and material sciences: The Cryo-Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (Cryo-FIBSEM) will reveal isometric 3D information on the structure and composition of specimens at the nanometre scale. The cryo-FIBSEM will be the first instrument of this type in Australia able to operate in a low temperature cryogenic mode. This will enable the imaging of vitrified biological materials in a near native state and of non-biological material to allow imaging of, for example, fluids, emulsions, gels and interfaces between biological and non-biological materials. Synergistic workflows incorporating unique high-end microscopes will enable the study of complex biological structures in their native context and atomic scale imaging of beam sensitive materials.
