Cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) provides sub-nanometer protein structure within the dense cellular environment. Existing sample preparation methods are insufficient at accessing the plasma membrane and its associated proteins. Here, we present a correlative cryo-electron tomography pipeline optimally suited to image large ultra-thin areas of isolated basal and apical plasma membranes. The pipeline allows for angstrom-scale structure determination with sub-tomogram averaging and employs a genetically-encodable rapid chemically-induced electron microscopy visible tag for marking specific proteins within the complex cell environment. The pipeline provides fast, efficient, distributable, low-cost sample preparation and enables targeted structural studies of identified proteins at the plasma membrane of cells.
