Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

Semiconductor nanocrystals of different sizes and shapes can govern the optical and electrical properties of materials. Liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM) is an emerging method to ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that utilizes a beam of accelerated electrons to visualize and analyze the structure, composition, and properties of materials at the nanoscale.

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

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 ...

A breakthrough in using electron microscopes could lead to smaller circuits or more efficient chipmaking processes because designers will know better what happens when molecules meet. Michael Kanellos ...

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 ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JEOL Ltd. (TOKYO:6951) (President & COO Izumi Oi) announced that it has developed semi-in-lens versions (i)/(is) which are optimal for the observation of semiconductor devices ...

The cells were placed in a culture medium within a vacuum-sealed holder. On the left are images captured by a single shot of around 30 femtoseconds, and on the right the same cell captured shortly ...
