Using Linkam’s CMS196 for correlative 3D cryo X-ray imaging to reveal the intracellular location and effect of designed antifibrotic protein–nanomaterial hybrids

Groen et al. explored how a novel 3D cryo-correlative light and X-ray tomography (CLXT) imaging approach could be used to investigate a promising antifibrotic treatment for myocardial fibrosis, using Linkam’s CMS196 to pre-screen vitrified grids.

Precise targeting for 3D cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy volume imaging of tissues using a FinderTOP

Using a Linkam CMS196 stage Beer et al. demonstrated an innovative, targeted cryoCLEM workflow for tissues, in which cryogenic confocal fluorescence imaging of millimetre-scale volumes is correlated to 3D cryogenic electron imaging directed by a patterned surface generated during high-pressure freezing (HPF).

Adaptive 3D cryogenic correlative light imaging of native biology using Linkam’s CMS196 cryo-correlative stage.

Cryogenic light microscopy is a key mapping step in the correlative imaging workflow. Researchers adapted a standard upright widefield microscope into a cryogenic 3D laser-free confocal system using Linkam’s CMS196, to demonstrate the necessary sample preparation steps followed by confocal imaging of biological cells and tissues.
