Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), ...

Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany) ceremonially commissioned a state-of-the-art cryo plasma-FIB scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator worth more than 5 million euros on Thursday. The ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

Scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, is a powerful imaging technique that enables researchers to study a material’s morphology, composition, and bonding behavior at the angstrom scale.

The scientists designed a surface with microscopic silicon spikes that help droplets form inside the device to be read. Each of the spikes (shown above in an electron microscope image) is about 1/200 ...

SLAC researchers develop an approach to better guide the preparation of cell slices for cryogenic electron tomography imaging ...

To get a better look at brains, Harvard researchers are making microscopes work more like human eyes. Until recently, the quest to build high-resolution maps of brains — otherwise known as ...
