Reduce the complexity of your cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) workflow using METEOR. Identify the ROI easily before milling by effortlessly switching between FLM and SEM, and lower the chance of damage, contamination, and devitrification. Additionally, you can reinspect the sample with FLM directly after milling to ensure high-quality lamellae.
Benefit from high-quality optics to confidently mill at the correct area and accurately image challenging samples. Obtain a more precise and direct fluorescence light microscopy (FLM) and EM image correlation to get statistically significant data to answer your research question.
METEOR is a top-down fluorescent light microscope that is designed as a retrofit in a FIB/SEM chamber. It is easily customizable, whether you work with plunge frozen or high-pressure frozen samples, perform on-grid milling or lift-out. METEOR comes with ODEMIS, a user-friendly open-source acquisition software that will ensure image acquisition parameters are primed for high-quality fluorescence images.
Effortlessly switch between imaging modes with integrated FLM to identify your ROI without risky sample transfers.
Our experienced installation engineers install METEOR, fully compatible with FIB/SEM systems from multiple vendors.
Customize the optical path by selecting the objective, camera and emission filters according to your imaging needs
Control all FLM settings as well as the FIB/SEM sample stage and take stitched overview images with our intuitive open-source software ODEMIS.
METEOR is a powerful system to facilitate the studies of biological samples in their near-native cellular environment. It can be applied to a wide range of research areas, such as neuroscience, cell biology, microbiology, and virology. Above all, METEOR is easily adaptable to your sample preparation workflow.
