Ever since scientists discovered cells under the microscope more than 350 years ago, they have noted that each type of cell has a characteristic size. From tiny bacteria to inches-long neurons ...

Key points All living organisms are made up of cells. Cells are the smallest part of a living organism and are around 0.01 mm - 0.03 mm long. To look at a cell close up a microscope needs to be used.

An ear of corn starts off as a microscopic group of cells called a meristem. Meristem cells will eventually form all the visible parts of the corn plant through division and growth.” ...

For the first time, scientists have peered into living cells and created videos showing how they function with unprecedented 3D detail. Using a special microscope and new lighting techniques, a ...

In addition to real-time measurements under the microscope, the researchers examined various endpoints, such as the strength of different stress signals in daughter and granddaughter cells.

The lineages of ferns and seed plants separated several hundred million years ago. After all this time, the HAM gene family still works toward keeping meristem cells undifferentiated.

Amazing video of cells in action These striking images give a never-before-seen view of the inner workings of cells. They were created using a revolutionary new microscope developed over ten years ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines ...
