NeCEN provides access to high-end cryo-electron microscopy equipment at two locations in The Netherlands: Leiden University and Utrecht University.
NeCEN operates two identicals Thermo Scientific Krios 5 transmission electron microscopes, one at each NeCEN location.
In addition, Leiden University owns a Glacios 2 and Utrecht University is currently installing a Hydra plasma-FIB
