In a paper at Structure, M. Jason de la Cruz et al. discuss cryoEM development over time. This includes its recent explosive growth, innovations in sample preparation, hardware advancements, implications of machine learning, and more.
It concludes with, "To create a sustainable ecosystem for cryo-EM, it is crucial to establish strong partnerships with industry players. Collaborations with vendors, manufacturers, and suppliers are essential to ensure the availability of high-quality equipment, consumables, and support services."

Did You Know We Offer Unipuck Starter Kits? | | |
|
|
We offer Uni-pucks, the leading system for remote data collection at numerous beamlines worldwide. The Uni-pucks available from MiTeGen are made in America by the longest-established puck producer in crystallography.
For your convenience, we offer preconfigured Unipuck Starter Kits. These kits contain everything you need for sending samples to the beamlines.

The USNC/Cr is seeking support in paying its annual IUCr dues. The dues allow U.S. scientists to serve in leadership roles within the IUCr Executive Committee, the IUCr General Assembly, the scientific commissions of the IUCr, and the editorial boards of IUCr Journals.
Contributions can be made through the National Academy of the Sciences, where you can choose the “Other” option and enter the name of this project as “IUCr dues.” Please also inform Joe Ferrara (USNC/Cr Vice Chair) via email, Joseph.Ferrara@rigaku.com, so that he can verify the receipt of your contribution by the USNC/Cr. Joe can also provide instructions on other contribution mechanisms, such as ACH electronic transfers or paper checks. MiTeGen is a proud supporter of the USNC/Cr.
