Benson Brain 3DEM Webinar recorded 22 Oct 2020

Speaker:  Emily Benson, 3DEM Ultrastructural Imaging and Computation Core, Cleveland Clinic

In this 50 minute Webinar, recorded 22 Oct 2020, Emily Benson presents her work on automating 3DEM specimen preparation of brain. She describes how she reduced a standard 4-5 day manual preparation protocol to an ASP-1000 automated process that reduced preparation time to 8 hours, and required only 1-hour of hands-on effort. She directly compares and quantifies the quality of rapid automated preparation to manually prepared specimens. Portions of this work were presented at Microscopy and Microanalysis 2020, which received the 2020 Diatome award.
