Researchers at UC San Diego's School of Biological Sciences used a cutting-edge imaging technique called cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to probe details of human muscle AChRs at high resolution.

They extracted quadricep muscles from exercise-trained mice and looked at them with a transmission electron microscope. Treg-deficient muscles had more “swollen” mitochondria, which were larger, had ...

Knowledge of the microscopic structure and composition of materials is essential for understanding their properties and designing functional devices. Microscopy techniques based on electrons and X ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...

The limit of resolution of the transmission electron microscope is now less than 1 nm. The TEM has revealed structures in cells that are not visible with the light microscope. We can now study ...
