Transmission electron microscopy is a general type of electron microscopy that generates an image of the internal structure of a thin sample using a beam of electrons to achieve much higher ...

Super-resolution microscopy includes a variety of microscopy techniques that increase the resolving ability of a light microscope well beyond the classical limits dictated by the diffraction barrier.

Using state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy, the research team was able to decipher the structure. To do this, the membrane proteins were shock-frozen in a solution and then examined under an ...
