Electron cryomicroscopy (CryoEM) is an electron microscopy (EM) technique where the sample is cooled to cryogenic temperatures.

There are various types of electron microscopy, some of which has been performed at cryogenic temperatures:

Transmission electron cryomicroscopy

Transmission electron cryomicroscopy (CryoTEM) is a transmission electron microscopy technique is used in structural biology.

  • Electron crystallography, method to determine the arrangement of atoms in solids using a TEM
  • Electron cryotomography (CryoET), a specialized application of where samples are imaged as they are tilted
