Cryo-EM is indispensable for contemporary biology. We recommend lab members to study theories of crystallography as well as EM on weekly basis (via lab seminar) as we are personnel in the department of Science. It’s interesting to compare diffraction theory in crystallography and projection slice theorem used in EM. We normally apply EM for complex structure analysis in signal transduction pathways. TEM trial for negatively-stained sample is more widely used to get to characterize your sample status. (Illustration, Titan Krios G4, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences)
