Watch our new webinar recording to hear about some of the first results achieved using these exciting new supports, as well as discovering how to ensure you get the best from your data collection and image processing with HexAuFoil grids. During the webinar you will learn about:

• Sample preparation, grid screening and data collection with Yehuda Halfon of the University of Leeds, UK

• Image processing and analysis with Sebastian Porav or the University of Leeds, UK

HexAuFoil grids, the revolutionary new sample support, developed by Chris Russo and Katharina Naydenova of the MRC LMB in Cambridge, UK deliver consistent, thin ice across 9 million densely packed 300 nm holes on each grid. They have been commercially available from Quantifoil, part of ‪@SPTLabtech‬ for almost 12 months. Register for our webinar to hear about some of the exciting results early users of these grids have achieved, and learn how to optimize your data collection and image processing to make the most of HexAuFoil sample supports in your research.
