So you benefit from
1
So you benefit from Up to 0.5 Å increase in resolution on replacing traditional holey carbon supports with UltrAuFoil®.¹
2
The highest resolution data from your initial movie frames before radiation damage accumulates, due to reduced beam-induced motion.² ³
3
Reduced image distortion because of lowered static and semi-mobile charge accumulation as gold is highly conductive at liquid nitrogen temperatures.²
4
Samples protected from damage due to accumulating positive charge by neutralization with secondary electrons generated by irradiating adjacent gold.²
5
Biomolecules retaining native structure and not being put under mechanical strain from foil crinkling.
6
Improved particle distribution as the gold foil
is even flatter than carbon.²
7
Easier grid surveying due to the high contrast of the gold foil.²
