However, thanks to the state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopes, the researchers have now been able to gain new insights into the interaction between Vipp1 and the cell membrane. They discovered ...

The groundbreaking discovery could open new doors for other researchers working with delicate materials such as cell ...

Light microscopes use light and mirrors and can see things as small as 400 nanometers. This allows us to get down to the world of the cell ... a leaf surface under a scanning electron microscope.

In 2004, fifty years after Novikoff and de Duve observed lysosomes under the electron microscope ... unanswered for many years was: which membrane in the cell gives rise to phagophores?

The best light microscope can show details that are 0.2µm apart and need a magnification of roughly x1500 so that our eyes can see it - this allows us to see larger cell structures. Electron ...

There are three types of pathways: Caveolae are small invaginations of the cell's plasma membrane. Under the electron microscope, caveolae look to be flask-shape pits about 50-80 nm across.
