Adaptive 3D cryogenic correlative light imaging of native biology using laser free confocal system

CMS196V4 shown above

Cryogenic light microscopy is an important part a correlative imaging workflow, allowing confirmation of localised molecules of interest prior to processing for downstream analysis such ultrastructural or compositional assessment. It is a key mapping step.

Here, the authors describe adaptation of a standard upright widefield microscope into a cryogenic 3D laser-free confocal system using Linkam’s CMS196, demonstrating the necessary sample preparation steps followed by confocal imaging of biological cells and tissues.
