Chemistry), and fruit fly flight muscle structure (Philip Barnes, Biology). A LEO (Zeiss) 435 Variable Pressure scanning electron microscope with an Oxford x-ray microanalysis system is also in the ...

Those who suffer myasthenia gravis experience muscle weakness that can affect the muscles we use to blink, smile and move our bodies. Researchers used a cutting-edge imaging technique to uncover new ...

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.

A team of researchers at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, in the U.K., has re-examined an old ...

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 ...

Until now. Two laboratories recently used cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule with a resolution of about 1.2 x 10-7 millimeters or 1.2 ångströms. The previous ...

The 3D electron microscopy imaging is available using Serial Block Face (SB-EM) and Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) or Electron Tomography (ET) Electron tomography is TEM based ...

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 ...
