Optical Sectioning and 3D Reconstructions as an Alternative to Scanning Electron Microscopy for Analysis of Cell Shape. Applications in Plant Sciences , 2015; 3 (4): 1400112 DOI: 10.3732/apps.1400112 ...

The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize ...

Empty fat cells (colored scanning electron micrograph). Fat cells, or adipocytes, are amongst the largest cells in the human body. They form a thick insulating layer under the skin that serves to ...

Peering inside cells has been an integral part of biology ever since the 17th century, when cells were discovered under a microscope. But even with advances in light and electron microscopy ...

Dahlberg combines the imaging techniques of cryogenic electron tomography and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy to obtain high-resolution images of things like this bacterial cell.

Under a traditional, light-based microscope, it’s impossible to image something smaller than the wavelength of light that the microscope uses, which is around 250 nanometers, explains Brian ...

Pick up a button mushroom from the supermarket and it squishes easily between your fingers. Snap a woody bracket mushroom off ...

With neonatal rats as subjects, he focuses on the morphological analysis of all basic hair cells - in the shaft, matrix, and papilla - from birth to death. The introductory chapter will benefit ...

By scanning the cantilever across the sample, an image of the forces – and therefore the surface – is obtained. One useful application of AFM is imaging living tissue. Whereas scanning tunnelling ...
