We present a correlative water window (WW) and visible light fluorescence microscope in an integrated lab-based setup [1]. The WW spectral range between the absorption edges of carbon and oxygen (280-530 eV) is particulary valuable for biological samples as it offers natural structural contrast due to the high absorption in carbon and high transmission in oxygen. Combining this with the...

The total electron dose (e-/A2) is a critical parameter in a single particle cryo-EM method. A higher dose allows to achieve a higher signal to noise ratio, which should give a better quality of final macromolecule reconstruction, but also causes a bigger beam-induced motion. Too high dose can destroy the most sensitive parts of observed particles. In general, it is known how to determine the...
