To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognisable under the electron microscope, they are treated with a staining agent. The standard staining agent for this is ...

Researchers have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples. (Nanowerk News) To ensure that the tissue ...

Researchers have identified a common household beverage as an effective, non-toxic substitute for the hazardous chemicals traditionally used in high-resolution microscopic imaging. A new study ...

There are a lot of situations where a research group may turn to an electron microscope to get information about whatever system they might be studying. Assessing the structure of a virus or protein, ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

Traditional electron microscopy techniques include scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where electrons that interact with the sample are imaged. 4 The ...
