The application of electron microscopy to hydrated biological samples has been limited by high-vacuum operating conditions. Traditional methods utilize harsh and laborious sample dehydration ...

The researchers examined the structure of the chloroplasts within the cells via several imaging techniques, including confocal microscopy, superresolution microscopy and electron microscopy.

Chloroplasts, the parts of cells that allow plants and algae to photosynthesize, are thought to have originated more than 1 billion years ago, when photosynthetic cyanobacteria lived symbiotically ...

The image in question was a 3D rendering of a eukaryotic cell that was modeled using X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy datasets.

Electron microscopes provide a stunning level of detail that reveals fine structures. Scientists have used these microscopes to create the iconic close-up images of red blood cells or human hairs.

The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below – the same plant cell, as viewed with the light microscope, and with the transmission electron microscope. Animal and plant cells have certain ...
