The membrane-bound organelle appears to play a huge role in helping cells sort, discard, and recycle their contents. It's ...

A New Technique Brings Color to Electron Microscope Images of Cells Scientists at the University of California, San Diego, have found a way to attach artificial color to biological structures ...

The researchers took thousands of individual images of the molecules under the microscope and then used high-performance computers to calculate a 3D structure at almost atomic resolution.

In a new paper published last week in Science Advances, a team of scientists and engineers dug into the mechanisms that degrade sample quality in liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LC ...

All living organisms are made up of cells. Cells are the smallest part of a living organism and are around 0.01 mm - 0.03 mm long. To look at a cell close up a microscope needs to be used.

Peering inside cells has been an integral part of biology ever since the 17th century, when cells were discovered under a microscope. But even with advances in light and electron microscopy ...

The University of Colorado at Boulder has acquired two new state-of-the-art electron microscopes and a suite of complementing computers that are providing three-dimensional images of cellular ...

Under the electron microscope, DNA molecules undergoing transcription exhibit Christmas-tree-like structures. Author: Thomas Broker ...

The molecule can then be tracked under an ordinary – albeit very high-resolution – optical microscope. Cryo-ET uses electron microscopes to study flash-frozen samples, like cells.

Here, a colored scanning electron micrograph of empty fat cells. Fat cells, or adipocytes, are amongst the largest cells in the human body. They form a thick insulating layer under the skin which ...
