Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

Beam-sensitive zeolites are difficult to study at high resolution because traditional electron microscopy often damages or destroys their delicate crystal structures before meaningful data can be ...

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are treated with a staining agent. The standard staining agent for this is uranyl ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

But watching how the flu virus sneaks into cells has been difficult because standard microscopes can't capture these fast, tiny steps clearly. In a breakthrough study, scientists from Switzerland and ...

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have investigated the impact of electron irradiation on the performance of p-PERC, n-TOPCon and p-TOPCon solar cells and have ...

In this interview, AZoMaterials speaks with Professor Sarah Haigh, Professor of Materials Characterization at the University of Manchester, about her pioneering work in electron microscopy and its ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State’s Institute for Imaging and Analytical Technologies soon will be home to a scanning electron microscope so advanced that it will be the first of its kind in the ...

“Nanowonder: Images from the Microscopic World” is a new exhibit on display in the Rozsa Art Galleries featuring photographs taken by a high-powered electron scanning microscope. × Butterfly wings, ...
