It takes only 4 steps from loading a specimen to completing observation. After inserting the specimen holder, clicking the Start Button automatically performs observation preparation operations such as voltage increase and emission start. A wide area image is captured at the same time. So, clicking the target field will move the stage to the clicked position.
The JEM-120i is equipped with an enhanced TEM control system and fully automated apertures, eliminating the need for switching magnification modes and selecting an aperture. Observation operations can be performed more smoothly than with previous models.
The JEM -120i supports a variety of retrofits. It also meets the need for additional functions after purchase.
Cryo-EM has enjoyed an enormous ground swell in popularity ever since the advent of more stable and automated electron microscopes, suitable movie-type cameras, and improved acquisition software. Results obtained so far have been nothing short of spectacular as illustrated by several structures in EMDB and EMPIAR solved by cryo-EM to resolutions better than 1.5Å, such as EMD-31314, EMD-33707 and EMD-35984, the latter of which reaching true atomic resolution.
The JEOL JEM-120i is an excellent choice for screening frozen-hydrated specimens and can easily be used in a mixed environment of high-end, autonomous cryo-scopes using appropriate cryo-holders.
