Availability: Services available to Academia Sinica faculty members and their associates, as well as academic institutions outside AS and industry.
Services:
- We provide services for single particle analysis (SPA) studies and technical consultations. To increase effectiveness of obtaining high resolution structure data, it is recommended to follow the sequence of application from CEM1 to CEM4.
- We provide consultations for Electron cryo-tomography (ECT) studies (service procedures still under construction), and are willing to connect users with our overseas ECT experts for potential collaboration.
