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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

The membrane that surrounds cells in living organisms is extremely ... Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have now been able to gain fascinating new insights using cryo-electron microscopy.

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

"This photo is the most detailed model of a human cell to date, obtained using X-ray, NMR, and cryo-electron microscopy data sets," reads the caption of a Facebook post shared Nov. 27.

The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below – the same plant cell, as viewed with the light microscope, and with the transmission electron microscope. Animal and plant cells have certain ...
