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

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.

The new electron microscopes can tilt the specimen in various orientations, allowing researchers to take photos of cell "slabs" from 140 different angles, said McIntosh.

Under a traditional, light-based microscope, it’s impossible to image something smaller than the wavelength of light that the microscope uses, which is around 250 nanometers, explains Brian ...

Fat cells, or adipocytes, are amongst the largest cells in the human body. They form a thick insulating layer under the skin which serves to cushion us as well as to store energy. In this image the ...

3rd level; Observerving cells under a microscope Magnification. To examine cells and learn more about their structure, we need to be able to see them in very fine detail.

The role of electron irradiation history in liquid cell transmission electron microscopy. Science Advances , 20 Apr 2018 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaq1202 Cite This Page : ...

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 ...

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

Researchers at Kansas State University have found a clever way to get better images: They made a graphene cloak for bacteria. According the the scientists: The process has potential to influence ...
