Using state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy, the research team was able to decipher the structure. To do this, the membrane proteins were shock-frozen in a solution and then examined under an ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques have come into their own — and are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in disease ...

For more than 50 years, freeze-fracture electron microscopy has been widely accepted as a significant method in microscopic structural and biological research. Although components of the approach were ...

The cell membrane is shown in blue and the cell's chromosomes in yellow. Mitosis is a well studied and well imaged phenomenon in 2D images, but never before seen quite like this!

Researchers at EPFL have now developed a new microscopy technique that combines two existing ones, allowing scientists to build high-definition 3D images of cells inside and out. SUBSCRIBE LOG IN ...
