The existing microscopes which have the capacity to examine tiny items – electron microscopes – can only see the surface of a cell rather than examining its structure and there is no tool to see a ...

the virus that causes AIDS – to find out. This transmission electron microscopy image shows HIV viral particles (yellow) near the end of the budding process; the cell they’ve infected is in blue.

Mycobacteria are the world's most deadly bacteria --c ausing infectious diseases including tuberculosis (TB), which alone kills more than one million people each year. New drugs to fight these ...

The scanning electron microscope scatters electrons across the surface of a specimen. It can magnify in incredible detail. This is a leaf surface under a ... such as viruses, invade cells, like ...
