About the Resource

Cryo-electron microscopy specialist Patrick Mitchell working at the Stanford-SLAC Cryo-EM Center.
Stanford-SLAC Cryogenic Electron Microscopy offers state-of-the-art cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) instruments at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory’s Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL). Cryo-EM generates detailed three-dimensional images of DNA, RNA, proteins, viruses, cells, and molecular machines within cells, revealing how they change, interact, and carry out biological functions.
