Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented ...

Fifteen years ago, physicists worked out a method to increase image contrast by hitting the electron imaging beam with an ...

In 1931, physicists Knoll and Ruska unveiled the first electron microscope, revolutionizing science by using magnetic lenses ...

In a landmark achievement in biological imaging, researchers at Biohub and the University of California, Berkeley today ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

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 ...

In a landmark achievement in biological imaging, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and Biohub today ...

Stretching protein samples in all directions pulls molecules farther apart, allowing them to be visualized using only light ...

Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley physicists' new technique offers detailed images of the small molecules and cell structures that ...

TEM works by transmitting a beam of electrons through an ultra-thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the specimen, they are scattered or transmitted, producing an image that is magnified and ...

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 ...
