In cryo-sectioning, frozen blocks of cells or tissue are sectioned into thin samples with a cryo-microtome. [11] In FIB-milling, plunge-frozen samples are exposed to a focused beam of ions, typically gallium, that precisely whittle away material from the top and bottom of a sample, leaving a thin lamella suitable for cryoET imaging.

Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) is a transmission electron microscopy technique that is used in structural biology and materials science. Colloquially, the term "cryogenic electron microscopy" or its shortening "cryo-EM" refers to cryogenic transmission electron microscopy by default, as the vast majority of cryo-EM is ...
CryoTEM image of GroEL suspended in amorphous ice at 50 000 × magnification Structure of Alcohol oxidase from Pichia pastoris by CryoTEM. Transmission electron cryomicroscopy (CryoTEM), commonly known as cryo-EM, is a form of cryogenic electron microscopy, more specifically a type of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) where the sample is studied at cryogenic temperatures (generally liquid ...
Scanning electron cryomicroscopy (CryoSEM) is a form of electron microscopy where a hydrated but cryogenically fixed sample is imaged on a scanning electron microscope's cold stage in a cryogenic chamber. The cooling is usually achieved with liquid nitrogen. [1]

Recent advancements in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have expanded the extent in which virus morphology could be uncovered by researchers. Cryo-EM began to feature direct electron detectors (DEDs), which involve direct conversion of ejected electrons into electrical signals, thus improving the speed and feasibility of the imaging procedure ...
This is useful for imaging specimens that would be volatile in high vacuum at room temperature. Cryo-STEM has been used to study vitrified biological samples, [33] vitrified solid-liquid interfaces in material specimens, [34] and specimens containing elemental sulfur, which is prone to sublimation in electron microscopes at room temperature. [35]
Electron tomography is an extension of traditional transmission electron microscopy and uses a transmission electron microscope to collect the data. In the process, a beam of electrons is passed through the sample at incremental degrees of rotation around the center of the target sample.
