To ensure that the tissue structures of biological samples are easily recognizable under the electron microscope, they are ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Researchers at Graz University of Technology found that ordinary espresso can replace toxic uranyl acetate for electron ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Scanning electron microscope images of trona found in samples of the asteroid Bennu returned by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. Trona is water-bearing sodium carbonate, also known commonly as soda ash.

Scientists at the Technical University of Graz have proposed using regular coffee as an alternative to traditional contrast media in the preparation of biological samples for electron microscopy. This ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a ...

Researchers at TU Graz have proven that espresso is a favourable alternative to the highly toxic and radioactive uranyl acetate in the analysis of biological samples.
