3D Cryo-FIBSEM Imaging Facility for Biological and Material Sciences.

用于生物和材料科学的3D Cryo-FIBSEM成像设备：低温聚焦离子束扫描电子显微镜(Cryo-FIBSEM)将在纳米尺度上显示样品结构和成分的等轴测3D信息。低温光纤扫描电子显微镜将是澳大利亚第一台能够在低温模式下工作的这种类型的仪器。这将使得能够对处于接近自然状态的玻璃化生物材料和非生物材料进行成像，以允许对例如流体、乳剂、凝胶以及生物和非生物材料之间的界面进行成像。结合独特的高端显微镜的协同工作流程将使研究复杂的生物结构在其自然环境中成为可能，并使光束敏感材料的原子尺度成像成为可能。

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.
