Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM)are versatile methods for biological structural characterization. Technological advancements made in the past decade have enabled cryo-EM to become an approachable high-resolution method capable of generating atomic structures.
The course will be divided into three sections: an initial 45-minute section on the room temperature (classical) EM services offered by the core; followed by two sections: an overview of the basic principles of single particle cryo-EM along the related services our core offers users, split into two approximately one hour sections with breaks between all sections. We will also discuss the practical applications of cryoEM and what a user will need to perform a successful experiment.
If you use the UT ProCard for payment of courses, please be aware that you can only charge ONCE per 24 hour period. Any attempts to charge more courses will fail, and you will not be registered.
For example, you may add one to many courses for one student into your shopping cart at any one time, and charge them to the ProCard, and you should receive a "registration successful!" page at the end. This is because you registered ONCE for ONE student. If you attempt to register and pay again, for example, for a different student, this will trigger the UT ProCard security system to stop payment, and your registration will not be successful. A page stating this fact will occur after you attempt to process payment. It looks a lot like the "registration was successful" page.
Ways to avoid this are: use the ProCard after 24 hours have passed, or the student may use their credit card and be reimbursed later through the usual UT accounting methods, or process the registration with an IDT, otherwise known as an Interdepartmental Transfer (talk to someone in your department that handles the accounts).
