NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Report on how AI is driving market transformation- The global transmission electron microscope market size is estimated to grow by USD 528.8 million from ...

To image these strange viruses, scientists sent samples to the Max Planck Institute in Germany, where they were examined using transmission electron microscopy—a process that leverages electrons ...

RNA viruses, such as the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, are in a life-and-death race the moment they infect a cell. These viruses have only minutes to establish their replication machinery ...

Modern techniques have helped researchers to understand the virus life cycle better. Among these methods are viral replication and the virus-host interaction that includes cell culture, infectivity ...

Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimen.

Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high ...
