These small jewellike disks are EM grids. They are how molecular virologists like Richard Kuhn are able to physically look at viruses using massive cryo-electron microscopes. (Purdue University ...

The friendly viruses, known as bacteriophages (phages), are viruses ... line drug used for treatment in the U.K. Using the University's own high-resolution electron microscope, the team were able to ...

When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when you’ve got a scanning electron microscope, everything must look like a sample that would be really, really interesting ...

and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) are powerful techniques that allow scientists to better understand the intricacies of biology, providing atomic-level insights that reveal how viruses, proteins ...

Some of you probably know this already, but there’s actually more than one kind of electron microscope. In electronics work, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the most common.

THE detail seen in a highly magnified electron micrograph is to-day limited more by a lack of contrast in the image than by any lack of resolution in the microscope, which is now usually capable ...

Some of the microscopes on this list are for the very smallest of children, designed to be toys but with working microscope functions. Others are real scientific instruments, ideal for older ...

All of the laboratory rooms are climate controlled and the transmission electron microscope (TEM) lab spaces have building-independent humidity controls. The microscopy center was established in 1987 ...
