Abstract

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. For this reporting period (6/1/08-5/31/09). The microscope was used extensively (approx. 20 regular users). We acquired a total of 269 tilt-series (88 cryo and 182 room temperature). We had very little service work (~16 days) done on the microscope. The microscope was heavily used during the typical workday (8-6 M-F) with 82% of our work done during those hours. In addition, the microscope was used 285 of the 360 available days last year with an average of 38.5 hours/week (2006 hours/52 weeks). The F20 was used 48% for cryo-imaging, 24% room temperature imaging, 9% for cryo-tomography, 7% for service, 5% for training, and 1% for development.
