Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in ...

Researchers who work with bacteriophages -- viruses that eat bacteria -- had a pleasant and potentially very important surprise after treating samples to view under an electron microscope: they ...

Electron microscopes have existed since the 1930s, and they’ve played a vital role in revealing the structure of proteins and viruses and how they work.

With cryo-electron tomography, researchers can reconstitute 3D volumes of a biological sample as large as an entire virus by acquiring images while gradually tilting the sample.

Some T4 viruses can even enter certain cell types, suggesting potential use as internal calibration standards - though this application needs further development. The implications extend beyond ...

The invention of the electron microscope in 1933 made them visible for the first time. Thousands of viruses have been imaged and categorized since then.

High school students across Montana are finding previously unknown viruses using Montana Technological University’s new state-of-the-art scanning/transmission electron microscope.

Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimen ...

The phenomenal new electron microscope (TIME, Dec. 14, 1942) has been taking a good long look at hitherto invisible objects. In the last two issues of the Journal of the American Medical ...
