Now an electron microscope ... base of the nanopillar bed, through which they shone beams of electrons to make their high-resolution images. The results reveal the corkscrew thread of the DNA ...

Unlike traditional microscopes that use light or lenses, DNA microscopy creates images by calculating interactions ... trying to fill in here.” Touching Base is the dynamic podcast series ...

Figure 1: STM imaging and spectroscopy of single-stranded peptide nucleic acid (ssPNA) and DNA adsorbed ... STM images are thought to be largely dependent on the orientation of the base molecule ...

Although other smart-phone-turned-microscopes can image larger scale ... labeled and stretched DNA segments. It reliably sized DNA segments of 10,000 base pairs or longer. (A base pair is the ...

Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Electron microscopes, too, can see DNA in cells ... Weinstein has so far used it to image human cancer cell lines and plans to apply the technology to tumors ...

A new imaging tool works more like Google Maps than a traditional microscope ... synthetic DNA tags — cellular genomes, RNA and proteins. “The first time I saw a DNA microscopy image, it ...

This is the first ever scanning electron microscope image of a strand of DNA, and it shows the structure of the minuscule string of molecules that encodes all life. It’s tiny—that little scale ...

Like the wizard from the King Arthur legend, the new MERLIN electron microscope ... a spatial image resolution of 0.8 nanometers, which is less than half the width of a strand of DNA.

Unlike traditional microscopes that use light or lenses, DNA microscopy creates images by calculating interactions among molecules, providing a new way to visualize genetic material in 3D.
