Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van ...

The molecule can then be tracked under an ordinary – albeit very high-resolution – optical microscope. Cryo-ET uses electron microscopes to study flash-frozen samples, like cells.

Specifically, the researchers found that intersectin keeps tiny, message-carrying bubbles inside brain cells in a particular ...

The resulting images, with a resolution of 10 nanometers, reveal what might be the most detailed view yet of how the virus replicates itself inside of a cell. The images show magenta RNA forming ...

Electron microscope image of neurons in the cerebellum. This slice through the cells in the cerebellum shows a dendritic branch of a Purkinje cell and its side arms (yellow) receiving several ...

Electron microscope image of synapse in the cerebellum. This slice through the cerebellum cells shows the synapse between an inhibitory neuron (red) and a Purkinje cell (yellow). There, the tiny ...
