In this interview, News Medical speaks with Rhea Stringer, Electron Microscopist at the John Innes Centre, about the role of electron microscopy in biological imaging. Rhea discusses how advanced ...

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an indispensable tool for investigating the nanoscale structure of a large range of materials, across physical and life sciences. It is vital for characterisation ...

Researchers explore how merging X-ray imaging and cryo-EM could enable real-time, high-resolution views of biology, advancing molecular films and drug design. By combining ideas and approaches ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Researchers at TU Graz have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples.

Electron microscopy has become a vital tool in structural biology, enabling researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Recent advances have transformed it from a low ...

In this interview, Pedro Machado shares expertise on electron microscopy, detailing sample preparation methods and the critical role of multimodal imaging in biological studies. Multimodal biological ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are ...

It takes just a few milliseconds: A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and releases its chemical messengers into the ...

Unlike optical microscopy, SEM does not rely on light waves but instead uses a beam of electrons to interact with materials, enabling magnifications up to 300,000× and resolutions approaching 1 nm. 1 ...

A £3 million electron microscope has arrived at the University of Oxford's Department of Materials. The microscope will support research across the university's departments and divisions. It was ...
