 Abstract: Correlating live‐cell imaging with electron microscopy is among the most promising approaches to relate dynamic functions of cells or small organisms to their underlying ultrastructure. The time correlation between light and electron micrographs, however, is limited by the sample handling and fixation required for electron microscopy. Current cryofixation methods require a sample transfer step from the light microscope to a dedicated instrument for cryofixation. This transfer step introduces a time lapse of one second or more between live imaging and the fixed state, which is studied by electron microscopy. In this work, we cryofix Caenorhabditis elegans directly within the light microscope field of view, enabling millisecond time‐correlated live imaging and electron microscopy. With our approach, the time‐correlation is limited only by the sample cooling rate. C. elegans was used as a model system to establish compatibility of in situ cryofixation and subsequent transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM images of in situ cryofixed C. elegans show that the ultrastructure of the sample was well preserved with this method. We expect that the ability to correlate live imaging and electron microscopy at the millisecond scale will enable new paradigms to study biological processes across length scales based on real‐time selection and arrest of a desired state.
