This movie shows a series of images that demonstrates the tilt range of Poseidon Select. Images of aggregated 30 nm gold nanoparticles in 1.5 μm of water were collected in 5° increments, over a total angle of -30° to +30°. Data was collected using a Philips/FEI CM300FEG TEM equipped with a GIF energy filter at 300 kV.

Electron beam-induced growth of calcite nanoparticles in situ in the presence of AP7, a nacre protein that is found in abalone shellfish. The calcite particles were grown in the spatially confined conditions of the in-situ liquid cell in a liquid layer of 500 nm. During growth both a stable protein mediated scaffold-type structure, and an unstable crystalline structure which re-dissolved shortly after formation, were observed. (JEOL JEM-2200 FS with double Cs correction, operated at 200 KV in STEM mode. Movie playback is increased by a factor of 25). Courtesy of Andreas Verch and Roland Kroeger.

AXON Synchronicity enables live drift correction of vesicular structures in fabric softener. Data was acquired using a Gatan 626 cryogenic holder on a Tecnai G2 Twin at the Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility at Duke University. This movie demonstrates the power of AXON’s image stabilization even at cryogenic temperatures with a non-Protochips holder.
