University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

Microscopy refers to any method used to acquire images of nearby objects at resolutions that greatly exceed the resolving ability of the unaided human eye. Object visualization may be mediated by ...

Who wouldn’t want to have a scanning electron microscope (SEM)? If you’re the person behind the ProjectsInFlight channel on YouTube, you certainly do. In a recent video it’s explained how he ...

Scientists say they captured 3D images of a new organelle they're calling a "hemifusome," which may be a recycling center in ...

In 2017, the GW4 Alliance opened a £2.3 million shared facility for high resolution electron cryo-microscopy at the University of Bristol. The purchase of the state-of-the-art electron cryo-microscope ...

Large-scale microscopy combined with tissue clearing and expansion enables nanoscale imaging of centimeter scale specimens.

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) faces challenges such as particle aggregation, preferential orientation, and loss at ...

In 1977, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Roger Guillemin and Andrew Schally for their discovery and synthesis of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), a key regulator of ...

In electronics work, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the most common. You hit something with electrons and watch for secondary electron emissions. However, biologists more often use a ...

The JEOL JSM-6500F is a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) w/Electron Beam Lithography attachment, and Nanometer Pattern Generation Systems (NPGS). It offers high resolution images of ...
