Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

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

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 ...

In a new study, we and an international team of scientists examined the behavior of marine viruses in a large band of ...

A bacterial cell settles onto a nondescript surface. It is plump, healthy and functioning as it should. Nothing appears amiss ...

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. To ensure that the tissue ...

A new study has uncovered dynamics of virus-bacteria interactions in the microgravity environment of ...

Researchers use cryo-EM and optical tweezers to investigate how an antiviral interacts with the herpes simplex virus.
