When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when you’ve got a scanning electron microscope, everything must look like a sample that would be really, really interesting ...

While this approach made electron microscopy possible for countless discoveries, it introduces significant compromises. Gold forms uneven coatings that leave vertical surfaces poorly covered. The gold ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate ... Cryo-electron tomography requires thin samples. Few cell-thinning techniques have been standardized. Here, the authors provide ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in messenger RNA. It is essential for life, yet it is an incredibly complex process ...

Attosecond science allows the extremely fast movements of electron particles to be observed. This emerging field brings both ...

These regulators are known as MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2 and when they were suppressed in colon cancer cells, the cells switched back to a normal-like state, removing the cancer threat without ...

"Raman microscopy adds a complementary option to the imaging toolbox," says senior author Katsumasa Fujita. "The fact that it not only provides cell images, but also information about the ...

They showed that symbioses with bacteria have ... Microbial Cell Factories May Help Get to the Root of Understudied Plant Molecules Jan. 16, 2025 — A new tool could make it easier to study ...

the differential counts are performed with a light microscope employing X25 and X40 objectives. At least 8 to 10 slides are prepared. Counts are made from random fields of 200 to 500 cells.
