Cells organize their molecules into distinct functional areas. While textbooks usually refer to membrane-bound organelles ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...

SLAC researchers develop an approach to better guide the preparation of cell slices for cryogenic electron tomography imaging.

These include stress granules and proteasome storage granules (PSGs). In the past, these membraneless organelles were only visible as “droplets” using a fluorescence microscope. Now, researchers from ...

The M25 microscope, which can operate in fluorescence and transmitted light modes, can be used to watch the swimming of entire C. elegans worms, a model organism used to study development, ...
