Visualizing Life at the Molecular Level

micro

Many biological functions depend critically upon tissue molecular architecture, which is complex and challenging to understand. The Titan Krios allows researchers to visualize the intricate mechanisms of individual proteins and molecular machines, and to localize that activity within the three dimensional architecture of the cell. This capability has the potential to further the understanding of biological pathways in significant disease fields such as cardiovascular disease or cancer.


The system is based on the world-class modular Titan™ TEM technology in mechanical, electronic and thermal stability and is designed to deliver the ultimate performance in both life science and materials science applications. The Titan Krios has been optimized for cryo-transmission electron microscopy, automated single particle analysis, 2D electron crystallography and dual-axis tomography. The revolutionary capabilities of the Titan Krios open the gates to the investigational frontier of biological sciences, presenting unprecedented opportunities for ground-breaking results and breakthrough discoveries.
