Ben Bammes to Present Poster at Gordon Research Conference in Newry, Maine

The conference will be held at the Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River in Newry, Maine, June 15 – 20

At the upcoming Gordon Research Conference on Expanding Frontiers of Cryo-EM Technologies, our Director of Research & Development, Dr. Benjamin Bammes, will present a poster titled “Recent Results & Developments from the Apollo Event-Based Counting Camera.”

The poster will feature recent performance enhancements to the Apollo camera, exciting new single-particle cryo-EM results from Dr. David Bhella (University of Glasgow), and calculations to determine the optimal magnification for maximizing efficiency in single-particle cryo-EM, including an analysis of how different experimental parameters affect total data acquisition time.

If you’ll be attending, be sure to look out for this presentation showcasing how Apollo continues to help advance the frontiers of cryo-EM. We hope to see you there!
