Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...

Electron microscopes have been helping us see what the things around us are made of for decades. These microscopes use a beam of electrons to illuminate extremely small structures, but they can't ...

This article has been updated in January 2024. High resolution images of microscopic samples can be obtained experimentally using Scanning Electron Transmission Microscopy (STEM). It is an effective ...

Protein structures found naturally in bacteria can be used as electron-microscope-compatible gene reporters in animal cells. Researchers in Germany have shown that enzymes carried within cage-like ...

Researchers have shown that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking microscopic resolution. Researchers at the University of Illinois at ...

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access even with advanced techniques. So far, researchers have relied mainly on X-ray ...

The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

A unique laboratory at Michigan Tech captured microscopic photography of snowflakes in a demonstration of the lab's high-powered scanning electron microscope. The Applied Chemical and Morphological ...
