With the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...

Liquid cell electron microscopy has emerged as a transformative method that enables the in situ imaging of dynamic processes within liquid environments. This technique overcomes the traditional ...

Analysis of the nanomaterials and the effect of the liquid environment on them is interesting for understanding their fundamental properties, which is possible through liquid cells. Synthesis of ...

TEM works by accelerating electrons, typically with energies between 80 and 300 kV, and directing them through a specimen thin enough for electron transmission. Because of their very short wavelength ...

An international team of scientists has received a 2-year grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CA, USA) to develop standardized training resources for volume electron microscopy. Electron ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals—small oxygen molecules ...
