The University of California, San Francisco received a $959,619 Project Grant award dated July 15, 2026, from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director through the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to acquire a new TFS L120C 120 kilovolt transmission electron microscope (TEM). This instrument will replace UCSF's existing 20-year-old T12 TEM, which is approaching the end of manufacturer support and poses operational risk to ongoing research activities. The new L120C microscope will enhance the capabilities of the UCSF CryoEM Core Facility by providing advanced software and hardware features that enable improved sample screening, tissue imaging, volumetric reconstruction of resin-embedded tissue sections, automated analysis capabilities, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) elemental analysis functionality. The microscope will serve over 100 researchers from more than 30 laboratories across UCSF and neighboring institutions, supporting research across structural biology, cell biology, cancer biology, neurobiology, pathology, dentistry, and related disciplines. By replacing aging equipment with state-of-the-art instrumentation, this award enables the continuation and advancement of transmission electron microscopy and cryogenic electron microscopy projects that are fundamental to UCSF's biomedical research enterprise. The award period extends through July 14, 2027.Federal Grant Award Summary
