Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry have discovered the mechanism behind an important step in the life ...

A technique invented by the lab, known as Electron Microscopy-Based Polyclonal Epitope Mapping (EMPEM), lets the researchers ...

Let’s look closely at the life cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – the virus that causes AIDS – to find out. This transmission electron microscopy image shows HIV viral particles (yellow ...

A team of researchers at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, in the U.K., has re-examined an old ...

We can see objects as small as 0.1 millimeters ... like these HIV particles budding on the surface of a T cell. Now a new type of electron microscope, a tunnelling electron microscope, has ...

Until now. Two laboratories recently used cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule with a resolution of about 1.2 x 10-7 millimeters or 1.2 ångströms. The previous ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...
