Dose weighting is now standard in cryo-EM, but it began as Direct Electron's "damage compensation" method, first presented at the 2013 3DEM GRC. This early work helped establish the exposure-weighting approaches still used in cryo-EM software today.

ICYMI: Cryo-EM reveals how a bat coronavirus related to MERS may jump to mink — and potentially humans. Researchers from Yale and NIH used Apollo to solve the HKU5 spike–ACE2 structure, uncovering a unique binding strategy and host range. Read the study: doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-6…

New preprint from the Rodriguez lab (UCLA): atomic structures solved by electron diffraction at room temp, in liquid. Using a simple liquid cell and a Direct Electron Apollo detector, they capture beam-sensitive hydrated crystals in their native state. doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…

What if your crystal structure isn’t what your drug adopts in vivo?
Drying can distort hydrates & polymorphs—creating artifacts and formulation risk. New room-temp liquid cell Micro-ED reveals true structures fast, in native state.
