CRYO ARM™ 300 II (JEM-3300)
Field Emission Cryo-Electron
Microscope
"Quick and easy to operate and get high-contrast and high-resolution images."
CRYO ARM™ 300 II is a cryo-electron microscope that specializes in the observation of electron beam-sensitive specimens, such as protein, for single particle analysis, tomography and MicroED. This system offers improved stability, throughput and ease of use compared to the previous generation of cryo-EMs. Moreover, this is an all-in-one system that can handle everything from screening to data acquisition, allowing for more flexibility in operation at the customer sites to meet the needs of the facility. These improvements allow users to obtain high quality images by simple operations even for those who have never used an electron microscope before.
Features
High Throughput
－Increased productivity for cost effectiveness－
Quick Collection
The JEM-3300 CRYO ARM™ 300 II achieves high speed data acquisition by combining beam shift with precise specimen stage movement.
The excellent beam control of this system minimizes the beam tilt that causes coma aberration, even with beam shift.
Hence, the throughput can be increased without degrading image quality.
Zero Fringe System
In addition to the ordinary beam illumination, the CRYO ARM™ 300 II has a unique "Koehler mode" illumination.
This mode has no interference fringes and eliminates electron-beam damage to areas not used for imaging and allows you to get more images from a smaller area.
Highly Flexible Operation
－As you would like－
High precision stage drive
The CRYO ARM™ 300 II has a rotation free stage. The advantage of this stage is excellent positional reproducibility. Even if you move samples back and forth between the microscope column and sample storage, you can reuse low magnification images, which we call "global map". It allows for obtaining good sample conditions to capture high-quality data because exposure to the electron beam is greatly reduced.
JADAS 4
The CRYO ARM™ 300 II is equipped with new version of "JADAS*" software to enable novice users to acquire data.
New JADAS allows the users to automatically acquire image data by simply selecting the acquisition parameters with a wizard.

Contamination free sample storage and removal
The grids can be kept clean in storage for weeks or longer in the CRYO ARM™ 300 II.
Moreover, those grids can be replaced from a single grid by the transfer magazine. Liquid nitrogen temperatures and nitrogen gas atmosphere are kept at specimens ejection.
High Stability
－Any time you get excellent images－
New Cold Field Emission Electron Gun
The CRYO ARM™ 300 II is equipped with the new cold field emission electron gun (CFEG).
This new gun not only has a low energy spread, but also provides an improved probe current stability, allowing users to obtain high quality images at any time.
New Omega filter
The CRYO ARM™ 300 II is equipped with a new improved in-column energy filter, the Omega filter, which is self-adjusting and always delivers the best performance with high stability.
