The single-celled ciliated organism Tetrahymena uses a different set of proteins for respiration from plants, animals or yeast, a new study shows. The findings reveal unsuspected diversity in how ...

An international team led by researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has used advanced electron microscopy technologies to capture key cellular mechanisms of stress ...

Researchers provide high-resolution electron microscopy analysis of the molecular machinery within the respiratory chain. Researchers provide high-resolution electron microscopy analysis of the ...

Cellular cryo-electron tomography is a high-resolution technique that enables imaging of the molecular machinery of a cell at close-to-native conditions. With the advent of dedicated cryo-FIB ...

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 ...

The Electron Microscopy shared resource offers techniques that allow researchers to resolve structures from cellular ultrastructure all the way down to molecular interactions. Our expertise in EM ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the ...

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 ...

For more than 50 years, freeze-fracture electron microscopy has been widely accepted as a significant method in microscopic structural and biological research. Although components of the approach were ...
