Abstract
The JEOL Automated Data Acquisition System (JADAS) is a software system built for the latest generation of the JEOL Transmission Electron Microscopes. It is designed to partially or fully automate image acquisition for ice-embedded single particles under low dose conditions. Its built-in flexibility permits users to customize the order of various imaging operations. In this paper, we describe how JADAS is used to accurately locate and image suitable specimen areas on a grid of ice-embedded particles. We also demonstrate the utility of JADAS by imaging the epsilon 15 bacteriophage with the JEM3200FSC electron cryo-microscope, showing that sufficient images can be collected in a single 8h session to yield a subnanometer resolution structure which agrees with the previously determined structure.Entities:
