EICN is the electron microscopy core of UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute, serving both materials science and structural biology. Its cryo-EM instruments are a Titan Krios G4 (E-CFEG, Falcon 4i, Selectris X; announced January 2025) and a Titan Krios G1 (BioQuantum + K3), alongside a Titan 80-300 S/TEM, an NSF BioPACIFIC Spectra 300C, TF20, T20 iCorr and T12 TEMs, three SEMs, and a Vitrobot Mark IV. Users can be trained for self-operation or request staff-assisted imaging.
Instrument pages state the Krios are open to all internal and external users; posted hourly rates cover UC and non-UC academic/non-profit users, with industry rates on request, and new users register in the CNSI Lab Management System (CLMS), submit an application and complete training.

Private providers that run samples
Companies that run cryo-EM as a paid service: you ship a sample, they prepare grids and collect data, and several also process it.
