Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

In this interview, News Medical speaks with Rhea Stringer, Electron Microscopist at the John Innes Centre, about the role of electron microscopy in biological imaging. Rhea discusses how advanced ...

With the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an indispensable tool for investigating the nanoscale structure of a large range of materials, across physical and life sciences. It is vital for characterisation ...

The meteoric rise of cryo-electron microscopy from an obscure imaging technique to a powerhouse for determining biomolecular structures is transforming our understanding of biology. Our knowledge of ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

The film provides an introduction to electron microscopy, detailing its historical development and technical mechanisms. It highlights the evolution from light microscopes to electron microscopes, ...

It takes just a few milliseconds: A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and releases its chemical messengers into the ...

Whether picking up a small object like a pen or coordinating different body parts, the cerebellum in the brain performs essential functions for controlling our movement. Researchers at the Institute ...
