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 ...

Chemists discover how key contrast agent works, paving a way to create new markers needed for correlative microscopy that can image the structure and signaling of cells at the same time. Two labs at ...

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 ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

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 ...

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.

The left side illustrates a schematic of electric field observation of the space charge layer at the grain boundary. An electron beam tilted at various angles (tilt-scan-averaged electron beam) scans ...

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

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 ...

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 ...
