Powerful Microscopes Resolve High Resolution Structures
With 4 Glacios microscopes, NIS has expertise in sample prep, vitrification, microscopy, data processing & workflows for projects of all stages & complexity.
We have multiple Glacios cryo-TEM instruments at both our East and West Coast facilities. This 200kV microscope is ideal for rapid grid screening to evaluate vitrification, as well as for characterizing nanoparticle therapeutics and vaccines.
