The electron microscopy databank has confirmed that the highest resolution Cryo-EM structure of tobacco mosaic virus, and indeed the highest resolution structure resolved with helical reconstruction was generated from data recorded using the Apollo detector.
The data was collected by researchers at the University of Glasgow in the UK, led by Prof. David Bhella on a JEOL CryoARM300 microscope. The reconstruction is available at EMDB – EMD-16572, and raw data is available at EMPIAR – 11404.
Researchers at the NIH and Yale have identified the entry receptor for HKU5, a bat merbecovirus related to MERS-CoV, using the Direct Electron Apollo camera.

An open letter from Carter Francis,
Research and Development Scientist, on our commitment to open source software.
We’re pleased to share that our Applications Scientist, Dr. Barnaby Levin, is attending the upcoming Transmission Electron Microscopy for Materials Research Gordon Research Conference, one of the premier international meetings focused on advancing the frontiers of TEM science and instrumentation, to give a talk about cutting-edge MAPS Detector Technology. The conference, running February 15-20, brings together leading researchers from around the world to present cutting-edge, often unpublished work while fostering deep scientific discussion and collaboration. This year’s program highlights recent breakthroughs in high-resolution TEM imaging and spectroscopy, while addressing key challenges such as imaging radiation-sensitive materials, improving throughput, and resolving structures in thicker samples. As TEM technology continues to push toward theoretical limits, meetings like this help shape the next decade of innovation in materials characterization. We’re excited to see Barnaby engaging with the global TEM community and contributing to discussions driving the field forward. And don’t forget to follow him on BlueSky at @bdalev.bsky.social!
DE Applications Scientist, Dr. Barnaby Levin, will be presenting a talk at the 2025 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit, going on from November 30 through December 5, in Boston, Massachusetts. Barnaby will be presenting on the latest advances in event-based detectors and cutting-edge software for in situ TEM imaging. His talk will highlight how our pioneering detector technology is enabling researchers to capture ultrafast, dynamic processes with unparalleled clarity and efficiency. If you’re attending MRS, be sure to stop by and connect with Barnaby to learn more about how next-generation TEM tools are reshaping materials characterization.
