The application of electron microscopy to hydrated biological samples has been limited by high-vacuum operating conditions. Traditional methods utilize harsh and laborious sample dehydration ...

The researchers examined the structure of the chloroplasts within the cells via several imaging techniques, including confocal microscopy, superresolution microscopy and electron microscopy.

Chloroplasts, the parts of cells that allow plants and algae to photosynthesize, are thought to have originated more than 1 billion years ago, when photosynthetic cyanobacteria lived symbiotically ...

The image in question was a 3D rendering of a eukaryotic cell that was modeled using X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy datasets.

Cryo-ET uses electron microscopes to study flash-frozen samples, like cells. Combining the two techniques immediately raised problems the researchers needed to overcome.

Kim Morgan has spent the last decade getting really, really close up to blood cells, skin flakes and more. Her artwork using electron microscope images is now on exhibition at the Confederation ...
