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 ...

Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany) ceremonially commissioned a state-of-the-art cryo plasma-FIB scanning electron ...

STEM operates by focusing a beam of electrons into a narrow probe that is scanned across a thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the sample, they are either scattered or transmitted. The ...

High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy makes it possible to study complex enzymatic processes in detail. With this method, a research team of the University of Potsdam and Humboldt-Universität ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

According to [Asianometry], no one believed in the scanning electron microscope. No one, that is, except [Charles Oatley].The video below tells the whole story. The Cambridge graduate built radios ...

With the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...

The exact birth of the scanning microscope principle is not clear, as the work of numerous scientists contributed to its inception. However, it is generally accepted that the first scanning microscope ...

Nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) enzymes are essential in creating important medications, such as penicillin and cyclosporine. This is done through a multi-step process where the enzymes ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...
