Happy to announce "Technical Innovations Using #SerialEM: A Community Meeting", a new format of hybrid meeting David Mastronarde and I are organizing in April 2026. For more info, a preliminary list of speakers, pre-registration etc. visit www.nexperion.net/semcm2026

For something different, tried this approach on something on the other end of the spectrum - in situ ribosomes from low SNR 2DTM data. Used the U2OS-grid 9 dataset from EMPIAR-12459 (699 movies; doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...). Blob pick & 2D after denoising gave 12k particles. 2-class HR-HAIR --> 3.3 Å

The Dutch mountains…

Finally, an FSC discussion again! It’s been a while…..

Whoever gets the resolution of raw tomograms to <10 Å within the sampled parts of Fourier space would probably deserve a Nobel. Or they'd get one anyway for the crazy new physics they discovered to achieve that.

Last day of a fantastic Inserm tomography workshop in Bordeaux.

Oranjerie Roermond tonight.

Cold showers and warm beer the rest of the week at CCPEM!

Ever wondered how some of the automation in cryo-EM data collection works? Read Bram Koster's 1989 thesis! repository.tudelft.nl/record/uuid:...

Take a look at my personal perspective on the past, present, and future of in situ structural biology with cryo-ET+ While initially skeptical about the genre, I found it fun to write and hopefully, you can enjoy my experiences and some thoughts. Nice weekend y'all www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Looking for a primer on why the contrast transfer function matters in #cryoEM? Have a look at our updated #CryoSPARC Guide pages on CTF estimation! We cover intuition, theory, job types and practical considerations: guide.cryosparc.com/processing-d...

Phase plates: what do we expect from the next attempt, the laser phase plate?
