Cells that are too thick for transmission imaging can be thinned into lamellae by cryo-focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) milling. Despite being a crucial parameter directly affecting attainable resolution, optimal lamella thickness has not been systematically investigated nor the extent of structural damage caused by gallium ions used for FIB milling. We thus systematically determined how resolution is affected by these parameters. We find that ion-induced damage does not affect regions more than 30 nanometers from either lamella surface and that up to ~180-nanometer lamella thickness does not negatively affect resolution. This shows that there is no need to generate very thin lamellae and lamella thickness can be chosen such that it captures cellular features of interest, thereby opening cryo-ET also for studies of large complexes. |
