This was accomplished using 300 kV electron microscopes equipped with new hardware that provided narrower energy spread, aberration correction and energy filtering. Here, we report the achievement of 1.24 Å atomic resolution on an upgraded 200 kV electron microscope featuring a cold field emission gun, a high-resolution objective lens polepiece and an energy filter. These components transform the instrument into a cost-effective single-particle cryo-EM platform with performance comparable to that of significantly more expensive 300 kV systems. The microscope can also be operated at 100 kV and by using a high-speed hybrid-pixel detector we were able to reach sub-2 Å resolution. |
