Advances in cryogenic transmission electron microscopy for the characterization of dynamic self-assembling nanostructures

► CryoTEM enables structural characterization of organic or organic-inorganic hybrid systems in a native, solvent-exposed state. ► CryoTEM provides unique insight of dynamic nanoscale architectures in self-assembling, stimuli-responsive systems. ► Recent advances in cryogenic techniques provide a means to characterize materials from nanometer to micron length scales.
