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

With a new method, researchers have captured a high-resolution metabolic “map” of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, revealing a hidden world where organelles and molecular complexes ...

“The use of cryo-electron tomography, a cutting-edge imaging technique that flash-freezes cells and captures nanometer-resolution, 3D snapshots of their internal architecture, was essential to this ...

A new PNAS study examined primary cilia in human islet cells using a multi-scale surface scanning electron microscope approach to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) image of their architecture.

Ebrahim used cryo-electron tomography, or cryo-ET, to observe and image hemifusomes. The cells, which were kept at cryogenic temperatures, were imaged in two dimensions using an electron microscope.

While scientists thought the ER was composed of two simple membrane elements – sheets and tubules – super-resolution light microscopy and 3D electron microscopy are revealing that there is a ...
