A false-colored scanning electron microscope image of a sourdough starter shows starch grains (green), yeast (red) and bacteria (blue). Daniel Veghte , CC BY-SA Giving rise to the starter is the ...

In this image, A control group of yeast cells (top row) is compared to yeast cells after they have accumulated lead from contaminated water (bottom row). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images ...

Scientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with the Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble (IBS) and the University of Fribourg (UNIFR), have used cryo-electron ...

Researchers have used advanced electron microscopes to delve deeper into the process of protein degradation. They described the structure of a key enzyme that helps mediate ubiquitination in yeast ...

After thousands of generations, their yeast grew 20,000 times bigger and 10,000 times tougher. SUBSCRIBE. LOG IN. HOME. SCIENCE. ... So they looked even closer, using a scanning electron microscope.

While the original electron microscope arrived in the early 1930’s (there’s still a controversy to this day over who invented the very first one), scientists have relied on what are known as ...

Specifically, the electron detector is designed for use in a scanning electron microscope, which is typically used for inspecting the surface of a sample and retrieving a high-resolution, 3D image ...

Sourdough is the oldest kind of leavened bread in recorded history, and people have been eating it for thousands of years. The components of creating a sourdough starter are very simple – flour ...

This technique allows samples to be frozen at -200°C to trap membranes in their native state, which can then be observed under an electron microscope. The scientists used baker's yeast ...
