Direct Electron

IN JUST TEN DAYS: Dr. Barnaby Levin will be presenting at MSC-SMC 2026 in Montreal. We look forward to connecting with the microscopy community and discussing the latest advances in direct electron detection with our Canadian partners Edge Scientific. ow.ly/WV0N50Z0rIi

Last chance to catch us at SEMS 2026 tomorrow in Athens, Georgia. Connect with Bob Monteverde & Michael Spilman to discuss the latest in direct electron detection, cutting-edge microscopy technology, and how you can get breakthrough results. Go Dawgs!

Day one of SEMS 2026 in Athens, Georgia is in the books. If you missed Bob Monteverde & Michael Spilman today, they’ll be back tomorrow and Wednesday sharing the latest results & new products from Direct Electron—stop by and say hello! sems.microscopy.org/2026-Meeting

Join us at SEMS 2026 next week, May 11 through 13 in Athens, Georgia. Director of Sales Bob Monteverde & Senior Applications Scientist Michael Spilman will be there representing Direct Electron—we hope to see you there. sems.microscopy.org/2026-Meeting

ICYMI: Cryo-EM reveals how a bat coronavirus related to MERS may jump to mink — and potentially humans. Researchers from Yale and NIH used Apollo to solve the HKU5 spike–ACE2 structure, uncovering a unique binding strategy and host range. Read the study: doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

New preprint from the Rodriguez lab (UCLA): atomic structures solved by electron diffraction at room temp, in liquid. Using a simple liquid cell and a Direct Electron Apollo detector, they capture beam-sensitive hydrated crystals in their native state. doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

What if your crystal structure isn’t what your drug adopts in vivo? Drying can distort hydrates & polymorphs—creating artifacts and formulation risk. New room-temp liquid cell Micro-ED reveals true structures fast, in native state. Worth 5 min 👇 ow.ly/CRYs50YRihS

ICYMI: In a direct comparison on the same sample, Apollo outperformed both K3 and DE-64—achieving 2.24 Å resolution vs ~2.9 Å for K3. Higher detail per particle and better DQE make Apollo the clear leader in cryo-EM detector performance. Read more: ow.ly/aF7950XgCWZ

TOMORROW: DE's own Dr. Carter Francis continues the GLMS webinar series on HyperSpy. Part 3 focuses on EELS analysis using the eXSpy Python package for advanced multi-dimensional microscopy data processing. March 19, 12 PM EST. Register here: ow.ly/Rebw50YtPsB

Catfish have tails—and so does their herpesvirus. Researchers at the @UofGlasgow used cryo-EM (Apollo on a JEOL CryoARM 300) to study giant viruses and uncover their structure and evolution over 400 million years. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…
