LS2.5: 3-D electron microscopy of structure-function studies
Session co-organisers: Sue Vaughan, Ashraf Al-Moudi, Thomas Muller-Reichert
3-D electron microscopy techniques such as cellular electron tomography, cryo-microscopy, FIB-SEM and SBF-SEM are important tools to advance our understanding of the spatial organisation of living systems. This session aims to highlight both technical developments in 3-D microscopy and how these techniques are used in biological applications.
