At the Vienna Region Cryo-EM Seminar on April 23rd, Dr. Kathrin Rudolph, Regional Market Specialist for Life Science products at TESCAN, presented the compelling results of a collaborative study titled: “A cryo-workflow combining light, electron and soft X-ray microscopy provides targeting of unlabelled features.”

Kathrin’s presentation highlighted how Soft X-ray Microscopy (SXM) is emerging as a powerful pre-screening tool in advanced cryo-imaging workflows. By imaging cryo-preserved tissue or cell samples up to 10 microns thick, SXM enables the label-free identification of regions of interest — before downstream cryo-FIB sectioning.

SiriusXT are pleased to be co-organising the Cryo Microscopy Group Meeting taking place on Wednesday, 12th November at the University of Nottingham!

SiriusXT has created the SXT-100, the world’s only commercially available lab-based soft X-ray microscope. Access to this cryo microscopy technology allows researchers to gain insights into subcellular structures, allowing them to answer complex biological research questions.

We will have an exciting line up of presentations including keynote speaker: Professor Roland Fleck, King’s College London, presenting on “Cryo-volume EM: Its potential and challenges”.

Soft X-ray tomography has traditionally been confined to Synchrotrons, however SiriusXT has democratized this powerful technology by creating the lab-based soft X-ray microscope, the SXT-100, opening up the possibilities for scientific breakthroughs in the field of biological science.
