Abstrakt: Unambiguous targeting of cellular structures for in situ cryo-electron microscopy in the heterogeneous, dense and compacted environment of the cytoplasm remains challenging. Here, we have developed a cryogenic correlative light and electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM) workflow that utilizes thin cells grown on a mechanically defined substratum for rapid analysis of organelles and macromolecular complexes by cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). We coupled these advancements with optogenetics to redistribute perinuclear-localised organelles to the cell periphery, allowing visualisation of organelles that would otherwise be positioned in cellular regions too thick for cryo-ET. This reliable and robust workflow allows for fast in situ analyses without the requirement for cryo-focused ion beam milling. Using this protocol, cells can be frozen, imaged by cryo-fluorescence microscopy and be ready for batch cryo-ET within a day.
