Transmission electron microscopy reveals the architecture of cells at nanometer resolution, but chemical fixation severely warps their native structure. The true ultrastructure of cells can be ...

The N.C. Brown Center for Ultrastructure Studies in Baker Laboratory provides instruction and assistance in light microscopy methods, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ...

Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Now, an international team of researchers led by Hiroki Shibuya at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in ...

Expansion microscopy image of Lacrymaria, a ciliated eukaryotic microorganism, collected from environmental samples in Tokyo. Highlighted in green is tubulin, the major protein component of ...

A new study provides unprecedented insights into the cellular architecture of over 200 species of plankton using ultrastructure expansion microscopy. Dudin had been working with this particular group ...

What happens below the cellular level when the heart contracts and relaxes has long been unexplored. Thanks to new ultra-high-resolution electron microscopy techniques, scientists can now watch the ...

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

Ultrastructure expansion microscopy of murine male germ cells reveals the fine molecular structures of centrioles (shown in the enlarged image). DNA is stained in blue, and the chromosome axis in red.

Plankton are the invisible engines of life on Earth, producing much of the planet's oxygen and forming the foundation of the oceanic food chain. They are also incredibly diverse, with tens of ...
