Titan Krios is a state-of-the-art (300kV) cryogenic transmission electron microscope that enables high-resolution structure visualization via single-particle electron microscopy as well as electron tomography.
Krios is dedicated primarily for imaging specimens that have either potential for yielding high-resolution reconstructions (e.g., preliminary reconstruction showing visible secondary structure) and for specimens that can only be imaged on the Krios (e.g. thickness requiring 300 kV and energy filtering).

Before scheduling data collection, specimens should be registered on a MIT BRR and screened for appropriate blotting conditions, sample concentration, and homogeneity.
