Using transmission electron microscopy, the team found that salinity affects the structure of the diatom's polysaccharide layer located between the frustule and the cell membrane. This organic ...

However, under a microscope, their glitters and colors differ depending on how the light strikes them, like a kaleidoscope. Oku became fascinated by the beauty of diatoms when he was a graduate ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...

Combine scanning electron microscopy and elemental analytics: the best-in-class EDS geometry of Sigma increases your analytical productivity, especially on beam sensitive samples. Get analytical ...

Such is the case with a hybrid microscope, born at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), that for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of ...
