The Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC) is a large complex in the nuclear membrane, representing the gate to the eukaryotic genetic makeup. Because of this outstanding function the structure of the NPC is of great interest. Anna Szymborska, scientist at the EMBL in Heidelberg, comments on her resaerch results and the potential of Ground State Depletion... Read more
December 10, 2013 (Peabody, Mass.) — JEOL, Ltd., a world leader in electron microscopy, has announced a joint initiative between JEOL and Gatan that brings the power of Serial Block Face imaging to the JEOL family of scanning electron microscopes. Researchers will be able to image 3D structures of biological and materials samples at ultrahigh... Read more
Since its introduction in the 1600s, improvements in microscope technology have continually broadened the types of cells and cellular processes that can be studied. Advances in automation have made this already-simple tool faster and more capable, and time-lapse imaging reveals function and dynamics in addition to structure. Live-cell imaging has enabled us to witness incredible... Read more
