Market leader in temperature and environmental-controlled microscopy, Linkam Scientific Instruments, will be presenting a range of stages at this year’s Microscopy & Microanalysis (M&M) 2025. The showcase will include its cryo portfolio, amongst other new developments, at booth #1439, M&M Salt Lake City, July 27-31.

Linkam Scientific Instruments is showcasing a range of microscopy stages and instrumentation at this year’s M&M conference, including its core stages, new products, and its cryogenic temperature portfolio.

Linkam’s showcase at M&M 2025 includes the new IHS1700 stage, an infrared heating system developed alongside researchers at the University of Huddersfield, UK, which has a temperature range of room temperature to 1700 °C and uses infrared heating to achieve a maximum 2000 °C/min. Linkam will also be presenting some of its most popular stages for temperature controlled analysis, including the MFS, THMS600, and imaging platform.

Cryo-microscopy continues to be a key focus at M&M 2025, and Linkam will deliver two poster presentations relating to its cryogenic systems – the CMS196V4, and the CryoGenium plunger.

The CMS196V4 is Linkam’s cryo-correlative microscopy system, which enables cryo-fluorescence, correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) and cryo-super resolution. The stage uses liquid nitrogen cooling to maintain vitrification of samples and was developed together with the Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC) in the Netherlands.

The CryoGenium is a fully automated system which offers a range of features for users of cryo-EM, cryo-tomography, single particle tomography (SPT) and cryo-CLEM methods. The system offers an alternative to common blotting mechanisms by employing a novel suction approach to control ice thickness. This improves process stability and repeatability while also allowing for real-time optical monitoring of a sample as it undergoes plunge freezing.

Dr. Michael Schwertner, Senior Research Scientist at Linkam, will be giving poster presentations on the CryoGenium, an automated blot-free cryo-plunger with optical real-time feedback for single-particle and cell-based workflows and its new platform for cryo-fluorescence with high stability and improved ease of use. Attendees can visit booth #1439 for more information.

Clara Ko, Sales and Marketing Director at Linkam, comments: “Across the scientific community, we are seeing analytical instrumentation get better in every sense, in terms of time-to-results, sensitivity and specificity, and our stages are continuing to support researchers across the globe. As demand for innovation across academic and industrial research continues, we are proud to supply environmental- and temperature-controlled stages, paving the way for future scientific discovery.”

Linkam will be available throughout the event at booth #1439, alongside its US distribution partner McCrone Microscopes and Accessories.
